    libstdc++: Throw instead of segfaulting in std::thread constructor [PR 67791]
    
    This turns a mysterious segfault into an exception with a more useful
    message. If the exception isn't caught, the user sees this instead of
    just a segfault:
    
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
      what():  Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted
    Aborted (core dumped)
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            PR libstdc++/67791
            * src/c++11/thread.cc (thread::_M_start_thread(_State_ptr, void (*)())):
            Check that gthreads is available before calling __gthread_create.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 4bbd5d0c5fb2b7527938ad44a6d8a2f2ef8bbe12)
