[PATCH 2/5] Clarify the implementation of the dummy alias used for pthread_self.

[Jens Gustedt <Jens.Gustedt@inria.fr>]

In fact this points to a readonly location that is meant to crash the
executable if pthread_keys are used without having properly linked to
pthread_key_create. This can be of the correct type now.
