misleading documentation for configure --enable-threads option

the install/CONFIGURE file has this to say about the --enable-threads
option:
* --enable-threads -- Specify that the target supports threads. This
affects only the Objective-C compiler and runtime library.
which is dangerously wrong. without --enable-threads turned on, the
compiler will generate non-threadsafe stack frame code for c++ exception
handling. c++ exception handling is neither part of the Objective-C
compiler or its runtime library. it's a fundamental part of the c++
compiler.
