1 Okay, let's try this again to the correct list.
2
3 I was just debugging a problem related to nptl threading when
4 I discovered a whole bunch of local use flags related to threading.
5 I ran the numbers and got the following:
6
7 1 orathreads
8 2 pthreads
9 5 nptl
10 7 threads
11
12 At the very least, it seems that nptl should be made a single global USE
13 flag. As for the rest, I bet some standardization could happen there
14 too.
15
16 I know not of threads, so I am not volunteering to break lots of
17 things.
18
19 Just a thought.
