If the futex usage by the condvar is problematic, maybe the new
condvar algorithm in glibc 2.25 will fix it by accident?

I test glibc sporadically with the subsystem, but with the current
(non-insider) build at least, there is so much breakage in the glibc
test suite that the results are pretty much meaningless.

In addition, I suspect that some antivirus software breaks the
subsystem when it is used to build new binaries.
