I have found that the link command for executables needs to be changed
for threaded Perl build. The additional qualifiers are ignored for
shared images.
I am not sure how to modify configure.com and descrip.mms_template etc
to do this.
When building a threaded Perl, the link command should be:
$LINK :== LINK/THREADS_ENABLE=(MULTIPLE,UPCALLS)
Setting the above command before building Perl is the current work
around that I am using.
The UPCALLS is needed to prevent calls to sleep(), SYS$HIBER(),
usleep(), nanosleep(), and several other timed waits from becoming
permanent.
The MULTIPLE allows the threaded Perl to take advantage of
multi-processor systems.
This fixes t/op/threads.t to actually run test 4 instead of hanging.
