openssh unix dev - Nov 2004 - SSHD with PAM question

Let me refine my previous question:

Can anyone tell me how to #define USE_POSIX_THREADS when building --with-pam 
defined?  The autoconfig stuff doesn't test for pthreads libraries, so by 
default you get threads simulated by Unix processes.  Presumably there ought to 
be an "official" way to specify this.

Thanks.

No there isn't because it will be going away.
