Hi Dylan,

Here's what these errors mean in more detail.

wasm-ld: error: 'atomics' feature is used by d1_lib.o, so --shared-memory
must be used

This one means that `dl_lib.o` was compiled with -pthread already (-pthread
enables the 'atomics' feature), so its atomic operations have been lowered
to real atomic WebAssembly instructions. However, because you're not
passing -pthread at link time, the linker tries to produce a module with an
unshared memory, which would make those atomic instructions invalid.

wasm-ld: error: Target feature 'atomics' used in d1_lib.o is disallowed by
ConcurrentScheduler.cpp.o. Use --no-check-features to suppress.

This line tells us that ConcurrentScheduler.cpp.o was compiled without
-pthread, which means its atomic operations were lowered to non-atomic
WebAssembly instruction because the atomics feature was not enabled. That
means that ConcurrentScheduler.cpp.o is not safe to link with dl_lib.o
because the resulting program would not be thread-safe, even if the program
was thread-safe at the source level. When using the LLVM backend, the
wasm-ld linker helpfully recognizes this error and does not let you link an
unsafe program. Fastcomp would just silently link your program into a
thread-unsafe binary.

As Mehdi said, you can either make sure to use -pthread when building all
your objects and libraries and at link time to get a properly thread-safe
binary out, or alternatively you can make sure not to pass -pthread for any
of the objects and libraries to get a single-threaded version of the binary
that will run on any engine.

Let me know if I you want more detail on anything :)
