We were seeing segfaults when calling `pthread_detach`. Apparently in some versions of glibc there is a race between when this is called (usually right after starting a thread) and a short-lived thread's shutdown routine. The bug has been reported to glibc: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19951 I haven't been able to reproduce it on my Linux desktop but apparently it's easier to reproduce on certain kinds of servers. As a workaround, we can set the thread's detach state before thread start. I don't know of a platform that doesn't have `pthread_attr_setdetachstate`, but to be safe we check for it in `extconf.rb` and use `pthread_detach` as a backup if it isn't available. Fixes [Bug #21679]
