That would be easily catchable in pkgsrc wrappers (i.e. remove all "-lpthread" or similar args if no "-pthread" is there). We may even be able to come up with some magic to make initialization of libpthread fail in that case. Also forcing things to be multithreaded when compiling for sanitizers sounds ok, so I do not really see the big problem you are trying to solve here. Or am I overlooking something? I would also be interested (as Thor said) in runtime differences, but not on amd64 where they are likely unnoticable. What memory footprint / cache differences will this cause on tiny machines? Most tiny appliances still use very little (if at all) threaded code. Martin
