I'm not really sure, that this is the right way. (but it might very well
be)

My Questions:

1. Does it work with gcc? It might be a mistake of egcs alltogether, I
   would expect a simple program 

      #include <pthread.h>
      main(){}

   to work, which it doesn't, if I got that right.

2. Is there really no macro to switch on thread safety? Such a macro would
   certainly be found in /usr/include/errno.h, because errno is a macro
   expanding to a funtion-call for MT-safe compilation. (It's not, that I
   don't trust you, it's just to make 100% sure)
 
3. Can you provide any information on how this workes on other versions of
   dec-osf?
