This is exactly the sort of issue that should be solved by the thread library / kernel threads implementation and not in every threaded application that needs it, in my view.

It should not be done in new thread library, do you want a bloat and error-prone thread library ? Instead if this semantic is really necessary, it should be done in kernel.

Well, it depends on the alternatives. If a clean kernel implementation is possible - yes please, of course. If only a complex, error-prone kernel implementation is possible, I would prefer to have the complexity in the thread library.

Hacking libthr or libpthread to do this for you is not an option. They would then look like libc_r since all fd's accesses would need to be wrapped. If this needs to be done, it must be in the kernel.

It's also couldn't be entirely solved by fixing it in the threads library. You could still have a non-threaded application that waits on a read operation, but receives a signal and closes the socket in the signal handler.
