does this mean that we will have only libc_r.so and libc_r.a in FreeBSD 5.0 system?
can we remove libc.so and libc.a?  let the system to default mulit-threaded enable?
I know if I mix msvcrt.dll(DLL version) and libcmt.lib (static library) in M$ visual C++
program,  memory will be corrupted,  (sometimes I can not avoid the problem because 
of using third party libbrary),  is it true on FreeBSD if I mix using libc and libc_r 
in same program?

Regards,
XuYifeng
