I assume threads are supposed to work on all platforms that support it.
We have new threading detection code in 8.0 so I expected some
adjustments. Also, someone pointed out that the problem was reported
during beta but I missed it.
As far as testing we have to have the users do any testing. The thread
testing script already tests threading but the actual compile success is
what we are adjusting now.
