I have been playing with egcs 1.1 for a while now, and disabling thread
support is not a option that I would like to proceed with. Most likely we
will ship a compatibility package that will include the current libcstdc++
2.8 generated by 1.0.3a so that apps linked against this libstdc++ will
continue to work. (much the saem way we did with libstdc++.2.7.2 in RH
5.1)
