I'm looking at a 3.0-971225-SNAP machine, and <pthread.h> has _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS defined, but libc_r does not have any of the thread-safe functions, e.g. getpwnam_r, gethostbyname_r, strtok_r, etc. I don't have my pthreads spec here at home, but as I recall, _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS is specified as meaning that the *_r functions are available. I don't believe it means anything WRT to the general thread-safeness of the rest of libc (or libc_r), which by definition should be inherently thread-safe (on the off chance that that's what you thought it meant.) -- Kaleb S.
