Strictly speaking, you don't necessarily need to use a multi-threaded
build of perl to build an XS extension to a multi-threaded library.
I am the author of the MQSeries module(s), which have just such a
requirement. The MQSeries products API is multi-threaded, and apps
that link with these libs are required to first link with -lthread. I
simply build the MQSeries.so and link that with -lthread, not the perl
interpreter itself.
By merely adding -lthread to the LIBS macro in addition to the
MQSeries -l's, everything works fine with a perl built with
-Uusethread.
