The code in crypto/threads/ is just a program to test thread locking
in some specific environments. It's not part of libcrypto and hasn't
ever been. The reason is that we can't really assume anything about
threads and locking in all the environments where OpenSSL can be
built, and therefore left it to the applications to decide for
themselves how that should be handled. Some environments (OpenVMS,
for example) even have several thread implementations, and the choice
between them comes down to how the application is linked.
