v3 does honor this enable flag. I don't anticipate this part of the patch 
causing problems. I'll look at the rest of it momentarily.

FWIW, the --enable-thread=FOO stuff needs to be standardized, not just 
for libstdc++-v3, but for libjava. Currently, it's hard to correctly sync 
up the compiler and various target libraries with the exact same 
threading model: this needs to change. This plus the concerns that David 
E has about the IBM threading approach means that this top-level 
configure hacking should happen sooner, rather than later.

I'll try to look at it later this week.
