I followed the whole thread and probably I'm being dense, but I still can't
get this point. Note that I'm not taking position one way or the other, just
asking.
Why is that so? Isn't it possible to have -pthread:
- do nothing when linking libraries
- use libmap.conf(5) (possibly integrated by whatever env magic we want to
add to allow this to be temporarily overridden) to decide what to link with.
Bye,
Andrea
