In some cases, if no applications will use threads and the linking with
libpthread is undesirable, it may be useful to eliminate the
multi-threading support in libconfd. To do this, set the make variable
DISABLE_THREADS to “yes” when building, e.g. for a native build just run
make DISABLE_THREADS=yes
NOTE: If a normal build with multi-threading support has been done
earlier in this source tree, it is necessary to first run ‘make clean’
(or start from a freshly unpacked tar archive). Likewise when doing a
build with multi-threading support if a DISABLE_THREADS build has been
done earlier.
