Directly related with this...

What should the --enable-thread or disable-thread should actually be doing ?

I'm not asking what it does. I'm asking what it should be doing, and
its intended use.

Should we be using the reentrant functions depending on that setting
or should we just always use the threadsafe ones ?

And which thread libraries ?

It seems quite clear that _REENTRANT should be unconditionally defined
for Solaris when using threads. But what do we do if these are not
going to be used ? Do we make this definition depend on
--enable-threads ?
