Funny enough Glibc has a lock for threaded printing internally. You can disable the lock in glibc with the __fsetlocking function and the FSETLOCKING_BYCALLER parameter.

I had a threaded server that we were debugging which would only dump state correctly if we deleted a printf right before in a different thread. Really confused me until I figured this out.
