There is a long way between configure not finding a particular *_r
function and the entire operating system not being thread-safe. There are
many uncertainties along that way, and I believe my point was that the
only way we can get a degree of certainty about the result of a particular
build is that we keep a database of exactly what is required for
thread-safety on each platform.
