I don't think it's possible to mix libc and libc_r in the same
program (except as intended - with the libc_r stubs superseding the
libc ones).
There are no ``alternative'' header files with different defines that
might be used in one object and not the other, and the program is
either linked against libc_r, or isn't (and will fail if it's got
thread references).
I won't comment on Microsoft's shared library implementation.
