It doesn't seem to me that we should take on the job of providing
thread-safe implementations of basic libc functions.  If a particular
OS cannot manage to offer that functionality, then we should mark it
not-thread-safe and move on.  Persons unhappy with this labeling must
take it up with their OS developers, not us.
