This is a test from libevent, because it needs to know if the select() function will yield in threads. I say that as if I know what I'm talking about, but it's "close enough".
We can run a test and figure out whether or not select() will yield, but we cannot run a test in a cross-compile environment, so in that case we expect the person running the build to know how the target behaves. Personally, I think that specific autoconf macro, sntp/libevent/m4/openldap-thread-check.m4 is not well-written and it seems to have some problems. But it's also 683 lines of autoconf macro, and it's not indented using a style I find easy to read, so I haven't been able to clean it up yet.
