I should have read more carefully. Although not stated in the message,
I assume That newlib is being used as that was stated in a post to gcc@.
So I doubt it would work with --enable-threads=posix.
I guess I would just confirm that I think using no-threads.h may be the
proper thing to do. But as stated several times in the thread, it has
bit rotted some and needs fixing. I cannot approve it, but generally
patches to fix lesser used configurations are approved if they look sane.
