In the R-2-9-branch (svn revision 49914, 2009-09-24), R's configure script has an "--enable-threads" option. But, does it do anything useful? When I use "--enable-threads=posix", some of the configure output changes slightly, but it seems to have no effect on the actual link commands used when building R. Is that a bug, or am I misunderstanding what it's supposed to do?
The latter. It's part of the libintl (aka gettext-runtime) configuration code included in R, and is not present in the currently active branches. It affects how libintl works when src/extra/intl in the R sources is built -- whether it is by default depends on the OS.
