In both cases, the user dnl can change the choice through the options --enable-threads=choice or dnl --disable-threads. dnl Defines at most one of the macros USE_POSIX_THREADS, USE_SOLARIS_THREADS, dnl USE_PTH_THREADS, USE_WINDOWS_THREADS dnl Sets the variables LIBTHREAD and LTLIBTHREAD to the linker options for use dnl in a Makefile (LIBTHREAD for use without libtool, LTLIBTHREAD for use with dnl libtool). dnl Sets the variables LIBMULTITHREAD and LTLIBMULTITHREAD similarly, for dnl programs that really need multithread functionality. The difference dnl between LIBTHREAD and LIBMULTITHREAD is that on platforms supporting weak dnl symbols, typically LIBTHREAD is empty whereas LIBMULTITHREAD is not. dnl Adds to CPPFLAGS the flag -D_REENTRANT or -D_THREAD_SAFE if needed for dnl multithread-safe programs.
