The threading default setting use to be platform dependent. But I've
never had a problem over ruling it and going single threaded, not that I
see the point - run with the defaults that way you'll hit the same bugs
as everyone else.

The worse that will happen is you'll lose one name server - if that is a
safety issue - perhaps you have a network design issue ;)

Last time I asked the SUN compiler was the officially supported product,
but hardly anyone was using it to produce BIND executables - so GCC is
probably as good a bet as any compiler.

But I haven't had a chance to play with shiny new SUN hardware, so can't
comment on the specifics.
