I think hppa still uses it. The -D_REENTRANT might also be used in other libraries that can be compiled to support threads or not. But those might also be using some other options. I think we should just say that all libraries should get build with thread support if they support it. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
