That's not our concern - if the OS isn't thread safe we can't do anything about it, and to worry about it is an enormous waste of development time.
There is a long way between configure not finding a particular *_r function and the entire operating system not being thread-safe. There are many uncertainties along that way, and I believe my point was that the only way we can get a degree of certainty about the result of a particular build is that we keep a database of exactly what is required for thread-safety on each platform.
on UnixWare with only the getpwuid_r() function?
