should i be *able* to build a non-thread toolchain?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  as part of testing my toolchain build script, i wanted to see if i
could build a toolchain with no thread support at all -- you'd think
this should be possible.  so at each step during the toolchain
construction, i had configure and build options saying things like no
threads, disable threads, no tls, threads can just bite me and so on
and so on.

  everything went well until the step of configuring and building
glibc (after the bootstrap gcc phase), where the configure step choked
as follows:

  shouldn't i be allowed to configure a toolchain with no thread
support at all?
