the matrix. The memory for thread_data_arguments is also
not released. In function check_results, the memory for the
marker vector is not released.

When running 'make check', the default gprofng test suite creates a
shell script for which it used a hardcoded shebang of '/usr/bin/bash'
this script would not run if bash is in a different location, like
/bin/bash
This commit adds 'AC_PATH_PROG(BASH, bash)' to configure.ac so the
installation path of bash is detected at configuration time. The
configuration is propagated to the runtest command line where it is
needed.
libcollector uses pthread_getspecific() and pthread_setspecific() to access
thread local memory. libcollector uses this memory to check that
interposed functions (like malloc, calloc or free) don't have recursion.
The first time we call calloc(), we call pthread_setspecific() to create
a thread-specific value.
On Ubuntu machine, pthread_setspecific() calls calloc(), and we cannot intercept
such recursion.
gcc supports thread-local storage. For example,
static __thread int reentrance = 0;
I rewrote code using this instead of pthread_setspecific().
