Ah. On Linux, --without-threads really doesn't gain you that much. The
default glibc is still thread safe, and there are only a couple small
parts of the code that use locks (like the OOB TCP). It's generally just
easier to leave threads enabled on Linux.

Thanks Jeff. Thanks Brian.
I ran into this because I was specifically trying to configure with
"--disable-progress-threads --disable-mpi-threads" at which point I
figured, might as well turn off all threads so I added
"--without-threads" as well. But can't live without mpi_leave_pinned so
threads are back.

ptmalloc2 is not *required* by the openib btl. But it is required on
Linux if you want to use the mpi_leave_pinned functionality. I see
one function call to __pthread_initialize in the ptmalloc2 code -- it

There's actually more than that, it's just buried a bit. There's a
whole
bunch of thread-specific data stuff, which is wrapped so that
different
thread packages can be used (although OMPI only supports pthreads).
The
wrappers are in ptmalloc2/sysdeps/pthreads.
Doh! I didn't "grep -r"; my bad...
