Sorry for this, I had not understood your changes. It appears to me that
with your new version, pthread_barrier_destroy will return only once
every other threads exits pthread_barrier_wait. This is basically what I
wanted, but I agree this is not implied by the POSIX spec.

Anyway, i think the following assertion

> "[EBUSY]

was not OK with the previous pthread_barrier_wait / _destroy

I think that if you modify your tst-barrier4.c with looping on
pthread_barrier_destroy() while return code == EBUSY, you will have a
POSIX conformance test, won't you?
