Comment:

 Please send patches to the mailing list.

 The yield loop may fail if thread priorities come into play. It should be
 replaced with a condition variable. So, for the once implementation we
 need a mutex and a condition variable (#include <rtems/thread.h>). There
 is currently no condition variable with API mutex support. We need
 protection from asynchronous deletion. Maybe use
 _Thread_Set_life_protection() directly in _Once().

 If we want to back port this fix to RTEMS 4.11, then we have to use
 <sys/lock.h> instead of <rtems/thread.h>.
