when using musl in FreeBSD's Linux compatibility layer
Hi,
I think we can have the hope for that because glibc's pthread_getattr_np won't hung in FreeBSD's Linux compatibility layer.

imho the report and the patch should all go into the FreeBSD's mailing
list or similar things. Honestly, why should musl workaround for a
non-officially-supported platform?
