I've been looking into bug 27036 <http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27036> , and it's due to the lack of thread safety by default in libgcrypt (in this case via libgnutls in secur32.dll). To be thread safe, libgcrypt requires a call to gcry_control(GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS) before any libgcrypt initialization is done. However, libgcrypt is used by a lot of different libs, one of which is being used by some other dll that's loading before secur32.dll.

My question is, is it acceptable to do the gcry_control() call in ntdll's DllMain()? The alternative seems to be tracking down every lib used by wine that uses libgcrypt and doing it in each of those dlls. What's the best way to handle this?
