+	* td_thr_event_enable.c: Set __nptl_initial_report_events too.
+
+	* td_ta_thr_iter.c (iterate_thread_list): Make FAKE_EMPTY bool.
+	Use th_unique=0 in fake descriptor before initialization.
+
+	* td_ta_map_lwp2thr.c (__td_ta_lookup_th_unique): New function, broken
+	out of ...
+	(td_ta_map_lwp2thr): ... here, call it.  But don't before __stack_user
