[Bug c++/13487] New: Construction of local static objects is not thread-safe

[rmerkert at alphatech dot com]

I've just recently run into this particular problem (see original PR 7458). It
was my understanding that compiling gcc with the enable-threads option would
provide a certain level of thread safety within C++ code (not just for exception
handling). 

This topic has been briefly discussed in the mailing list:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00274.html 
and Mark Mitchell stated that there is no real performance overhead to
implementing this. 

Anyway, I think this should be implemented unless there is a really good reason
for not doing it. Or at least a warning maybe that code using static local
objects is not threadsafe?
