As a Fedora maintainer I agree with removing [!PER_THREAD] bits since
we don't change that define and it makes the code easier to read.  It
made sense to keep it when the PER_THREAD bits were new, to test bugs
against the older implementation for comparison, but I believe the
PER_THREAD bits are mature enough now to get rid of the alternative.

Other distribution maintainers should also pitch in with an opinion on
this since I don't know if anyone actually overrides that define in
their package.

I don't think the ChangeLog is correct, but the patch itself looks OK.
