I wouldn't mind doing this, but it's only six fcntl() calls on
startup, so the cost really is negligible.

I don't know a good way to do this -- the best I can think of is to
check GLIB_LDFLAGS for /pthread/, but I don't know if OpenBSD compiles
require that pthread be listed explicitly on the link line when
compiling against libgthread.  It would help if I had an OpenBSD
system handy..

When a version of OpenBSD is released where this is no longer an issue
(5.0?), we can conditionalize it on that version.
