What would happen if a module is linked with "-pthread", and the 
application that dlopens it is linked with "-pthread", but neither of 
them are actually threaded?  Would the application fail?  Or would it 
work properly but not optimally?  This question becomes important in 
pkgsrc when we figure out in which way we can err without breaking packages.
