that's a different glibc specific problem: they have separate
libpthread which makes a lot of things hard so they do various
workarounds

in your case it seems libstdc++ uses the gthr-posix.h from libgcc
that provides the __gthread_once function which is supposed to call
pthread_once through a weak reference, but the weak ref is 0
(so uninitialized, eventhough musl have the pthread_once symbol)

i'd check

 nm libstdc++.a |grep pthread_once

you should see undefined weak symbols (w) i think

and then at link time these should resolve to the pthread_once
in libc.a
