You have to decide what the therading lib should be indeed. However recent expirence shows that a 1:n model seems to be the one the world over you is gearing around: Linux never did anything else. Windows anyway. Solaris switched from n:m to 1:n on the step between version 8 and 9.... Having two of them isn't the solution for me as a developer since I'm simply not interresed in debugging both cases.


This is a reason why -pthread shouldn't imply linking
to any one library.  If you only want to deal with
libthr or libthread (KSE in 1:1 mode), then you are
free to choose them and only them.

Last time I heard that "this is a link time option". So you are supposed to change the lib under the hood of the applications controll. Making -ptherad empty is silly. If you are going to disable this perfectly sensible compiler switch then BY EVERY MEANS better make it BREAK CYRING ABOUT THIS FACT. But don't just silent it....
