I note that OpenLDAP Software uses a single configure script to  
generate configuration information used for building both thread-aware  
and thread-unaware programs and libraries.  Hence, special care must  
be taken the generated configuration information is valid for both  
purposes.  In some cases, it's easier just to avoid the differences  
(such as by using (or not) certain system interfaces).

It likely would be better to have two (thread-aware/thread-unaware) or  
three (common/thread-aware/thread-unaware) configure scripts.
