I'm a bit confused about the autoconf feature --enable-threads with
respect to gcc 3.0. If I run configure without specifying this option, the
configuration defaults to threads=single (Dual PIII-700 RedHat 7.1). I've
also noticed by examining the rpm build spec for RedHat's hacked gcc-2.96-81
that RedHat uses --enable-threads=posix. My question is, what behaviour does
this actually change? Is this something to do with the threading ability of
the compiler when compiling, or does it effect the ability of gcc to support
threads?
Thanks,
