1. Intel BID library isn't thread-safe nor is libdecnumber for that
matter.  There are several ways to deal with it
    b. Use __thread on DFP round and status flags.
      Pros:
        Good runtime performance.
        Really thread-safe.
        Easy to implement in Intel BID library.
      Cons:
        May not work with static executable.
        May not work with all thread implementations.

__thread does work with all thread implementations now.
