It looks like a switch-to-c11 fallout. Older glibc versions have
issues with c99 (and c11) conformance [1].

Changing "extern __inline void __pthread_cleanup_routine (...)" in
system /usr/include/pthread.h to

if __STDC_VERSION__ < 199901L
extern
#endif
__inline__ void __pthread_cleanup_routine (...)

fixes this issue and allows bootstrap to proceed.

However, fixincludes is not yet built in stage1 bootstrap. Is there a
way to fix this issue without changing system headers?
