Hmm, OK. We only do threads if we have ieot:

And we only have ieot if we had an extension_offset:
if (extension_offset && nr_threads > 1)
ieot = read_ieot_extension(mmap, mmap_size, extension_offset);
So later, when we _do_ use src_offset, we know that this code should
never trigger in the threaded case:
if (!extension_offset) {
p.src_offset = src_offset;
load_index_extensions(&p);
}
So I think it's right, but it's rather subtle. I wonder if we could do
it like this:
unsigned long entry_offset;
[...]
#ifndef NO_PTHREADS
if (ieot)
load_cache_entries_threaded(...);
else
entry_offset = load_all_cache_entries(...);
#else
entry_offset = load_all_cache_entries(...);
[...]
p.src_offset = src_offset + entry_offset;
and then the compiler could warn us that entry_offset is used
uninitialized (though I would not be surprised if the compiler gets
confused in this case).
Not sure if it is worth the trouble or not.

If nobody uses it, should we drop the return value, too? Like:
