Then, if you choose to compile threaded programs, correct operation of non-threaded programs is not guaranteed (unresovled external for the threads exception stack) unless you link *all* your code, threaded or not, against libc_r. We have tread this ground before. The egcs code assumes threads do not add overhead if they are not being used -- in other words, it assumes kernel threads.
