More and more packages were depending on a working sem_open() function (scipy, pandas, matplotlib, etc.) so I "implemented" it (basically
copied over the nptl implementation), it will be in libc0.3 2.31-6 which
is getting built.

Forgive my ignorance... I thought semaphores were counted signals
implemented by the OS so they can be used across processes.
I don't believe libc should be in the business of sharing data across processes.
Processes should not be sharing data like that because a corruption in
one process affects another process.
