Shared library

[Bob Hilliard]

     Section 11.2 of Debian Policy says:

   You must specify the gcc option `-D_REENTRANT' when building a library
   (either static or shared) to make the library compatible with
   LinuxThreads.
     Is this obsolete?  I can't find `-D_REENTRANT' in the gcc
documentation. 

     I assume that all Debian packages should be compatible with
LinuxThreads, or is this necessary only for code that specifically
uses threads?

Regards,
  
Bob
