Other than the minimum release required to support a given
compiler, no. However, DEC C (now Compaq C) was not the default
compiler until V4.0 of the OS, if even then. (The release team
had endless arguments about whether to switch the default
compiler. It might not have happened in that release--I don't
remember by now.)
Has anyone been sending in perlbug -ok reports for pre-V4.0
versions with threads recently? Since V4.0D was the Y2K release,
I suspect not. Only supporting threading on post-V4 releases
should be OK.
