Correct.
The library is only supposed to work if HAS_PTHREADS is
defined in port_before.h even though it is built on all
platforms.
The following OS's have been looked at at this point in time.
src/port/bsdos/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
src/port/bsdos2/include/port_before.h:#undef HAS_PTHREADS
src/port/decunix/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
src/port/next/include/port_before.h:#undef HAS_PTHREADS
src/port/solaris/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
