Asked another way, is it safe to use libssh2 from a multi-threaded

This is the same question, and the answer is also the same: No.
In our application, ssh sessions are initiated only from a single
thread, is this ok ?
Initiating sessions is not relevant. All use of libssh2 must be
synchronized.
s/initiated/contained/ i.e. all sessions are contained within a thread.
The other thread does not do anything with libssh2.
Do I need to recompile libssh2 with -D_REENTRANT so that access to
errno is sane ?
I don't think so. You need to make sure that only one thread calls
libssh2 at a time.
Only one thread does. However I am getting login failures with error
message "Failed getting banner". Looking at another mail thread
(http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2010-06/0243.shtml)
it seems the problem went away after compiling with -D_REENTRANT. I
tried this but it didn't help. Unfortunately I can't access the
associated ticket as libssh2 trac is down.
