Since the thread tests are the first real tests performed by APR's autoconf - any additional CPPFLAGS (or whatnot) will get passed to all subsequent tests. I think this is Jeff's concern (perfectly valid - I have it too). Looking at configure,in, I don't think we could move the threading tests around too much. It looks like it is in the right place. -- justin
