Why is threading enabled by default under Windows and not under other

Because it creates a dependency on the C library, which
is not always wanted. For Lazarus programs, the dependency exists
anyway, so it does not make a lot of sense to have the define.
But surely that c library is available on all unix-type systems? To why
is that dependency a bad thing?
Because I want a FPC program to depend only on the Linux kernel,
not on the C library.
There are FPC programs from 8 years back that still work with the current
kernel. Try that with a program that depends on the C library.
