A purely anectdotal data point: I wrote an XS wrapper for an
(in-house) C++ shared library on Solaris 2.6 that ran fine with a
non-threaded perl. Both perl and the shared library were compiled
with gcc 2.95.2. Callbacks from the C++ objects returned data by
appending it to a linked list guarded by a mutex.
I can't provide any more details than that since it was a job
back and almost two years ago.
