+Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Remove dependency on glibc 2.12 caused by
+ pthread_setname_np
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+prctl() can be used to set the same attribute set by
+pthread_setname_np, but doesn't introduce a dependency on a newer
+glibc. Using prctl(PR_SET_NAME) introduces a soft dependency on
+Linux 2.6.9. However, the worker won't fail to launch if the call
+fails as it is set out of convenience (debugger output).
