    so it is wrong that some projects (in particular, Boehm's GC) test
thread availability by looking at the output of 'gcc -v' because that
would be assuming that it will use the same libraries compiled along
with that gcc? in particular, this platform uses its own libc
implementation... also, you don't mention libc at all. is it different
with it? and last one: can anyone explain *how* it affects stdlibc++
and others?
