Sorry, no time to look at it any deeper. And a general solution is not
obvious from strdup.c or dirfd.c.

IMO, pthread_sigmask.c shouldn't be relevant with --disable-threads and
thus either not being used or code skipped by

#if defined USE_POSIX_THREADS || defined USE_PTH_THREADS || defined
USE_SOLARIS_THREADS || defined USE_WINDOWS_THREADS

or similar.

I assume, I don't get the whole concept here (at least not by looking 5
mins at it).

Anyways, I attached a diff that works for me. It's definitely not a
general solution but I can continue to work around a threading issue in
wine / mingw that hangs a project's CI runner.
