Please see ''config/auto/thread.pm''. It clearly allows for cases where
`HAS_THREADS` would be set to `0`. Tonight I wrote some tests in
''t/steps/auto/thread-01.t'' that explicitly test for that case. AFAICT,
`i_pthread` is something picked up from the Perl 5 `%Config`.
Now it is of course possible that the thread-detection method in
`auto::thread` is incorrect or insufficient. If so, patches welcome.
Thank you very much.
