Re: Typo in build-system, and why about threading on ppc

That's just a typo in the message, I've fixed it now.

Also
"threads=0 (default=1, except on ppc where the default is 0) Disables
threading"
I suppose this is related to the result
"Checking for pthread_create() in C library pthread... no"
?
What's special about ppc here? does it cause trouble somehow?

I remember PPC causing a problem when threading was introduced. I can't for the life of me remember what it was though, or even if it still a problem. If you need threading I suggest you compile it with that flag enabled and let us know what happens :-)
