Oh, that is a problem because other linux's show 'no' for the last two.

My plan is to have 'configure' run this program as part of its
operation, and Jan has some thread configure scripts, and this will all
be automated in 7.5 so no one will have to run the program manually.

Peter's not going to be happy with you ;-)  Runtime configure tests are
not part of the Grand Plan --- ideally configure should only have to do
compile and link tests.

Yep, I am sure he isn't, but looking at platforms that have different
thread-safety capabilities, I can't see a way around it.  We could
argue that the thread test is testing the thread library, not the actual
computer it is running in.  For example, it isn't do a 'df'.
