Solaris for one: bash-2.05$ uname -a SunOS pcnet5 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 bash-2.05$ type cc cc is hashed (/usr/ucb/cc) bash-2.05$ type gcc gcc is hashed (/usr/local/bin/gcc) bash-2.05$ cc -pthread cc: unrecognized option `-pthread' cc: No input files bash-2.05$ gcc -pthread gcc: unrecognized option `-pthread' gcc: No input files gcc does have -pthreads and -threads for Solaris, but these are basically NOOPs (just what we are doing). They define -D_REENTRANT -D_PTHREADS for -pthreads and -D_REENTRANT and -D_SOLARIS_THREADS for -threads. These do not specify any libraries to link, just predefines. FreeBSD doesn't have anything to predefine, so it is a true NOOP. -- Dan Eischen
