Presumably you called pthread_create() *before* calling
pthread_cond_wait() [otherwise there is nobody to signal you].

When you did call phtread_create(), it *failed* (because you didn't
link the real pthread_create implementation). When that happened,
you checked the error code and exited, right?

Therefore, you can't be calling pthread_cond_wait() :)
