the threading libraries is built. This simplifies the
logic in makefiles that need to check if the pthreads
support is present. It also fixes a bug where we would
build a threading library that we shouldn't have built:
for example, building with WITHOUT_LIBTHR and the default
value of DEFAULT_THREADING_LIB (libthr) would mistakenly
build the libthr library, but not install it.

Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).
Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
to point at libmap.conf(5). This will help answer questions about what
and why it is, although not in great detail.

MFC note: When MFC'd, don't MFC mention of work not yet MFC'd.
1. fast simple type mutex.
2. __thread tls works.
3. asynchronous cancellation works ( using signal ).
4. thread synchronization is fully based on umtx, mainly, condition
variable and other synchronization objects were rewritten by using
umtx directly. those objects can be shared between processes via
shared memory, it has to change ABI which does not happen yet.
5. default stack size is increased to 1M on 32 bits platform, 2M for
64 bits platform.
As the result, some mysql super-smack benchmarks show performance is
improved massivly.

On ia64, where there's no libc_r at all, libkse is now the default
thread library by virtue of these links.
The reasons for this change are:
1. libkse is slated to become the default thread library anyway,
2. active development and maintenance is only present for libkse,
3. GNOME and KDE, both in the process of being supported on ia64,
work better with KSE; even on ia64.
breakages. Note that runtime compatibility is not guaranteed. Future
changes to setjmp/longjmp in libc will break threaded applications
linked against libc_r.so.5 on ia64. We pull our "tier 2" card once
more...
