Goal
Add thread-safety to global libc state with proper locking to enable safe concurrent use of C standard library.
Context
Currently, libc has no concurrency protection:
- stdio buffers (FILE* streams) aren't locked
- Environment variable access isn't protected
- Allocator (malloc/free) may not be thread-safe
- Global state (errno, strtok static buffer, etc.) has no protection
With pthread support (#109), programs will crash or corrupt data when multiple threads use libc simultaneously.
