dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.

dnl Checks for GCC shared/pthread inconsistency based on work by
# -mt: Sun Workshop C (may only link SunOS threads [-lthread], but it
# doesn't hurt to check since this sometimes defines pthreads too;
# also defines -D_REENTRANT)
+# ... -mt is also the pthreads flag for HP/aCC
# pthread: Linux, etcetera
# --thread-safe: KAI C++
# pthread-config: use pthread-config program (for GNU Pth library)
# On Solaris (at least, for some versions), libc contains stubbed
# (non-functional) versions of the pthreads routines, so link-based
- # tests will erroneously succeed. (We need to link with -pthread or
+ # tests will erroneously succeed. (We need to link with -pthreads/-mt/
# -lpthread.) (The stubs are missing pthread_cleanup_push, or rather
# a function called by this macro, so we could check for that, but
# who knows whether they'll stub that too in a future libc.) So,
# we'll just look for -pthreads and -lpthread first:
