/*
* Threading sometimes requires specially-named versions of functions
* that return data in static buffers, like strerror_r() instead of
* strerror(). Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific()
* and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library
* functions to return static data to threaded applications.
*
* Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that
* use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions
* of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems
* that require them. However, internally, these *_r functions merely
* call the thread-safe standard library functions.
*
* For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid(). Internally,
* getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return
* static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner. However, BSD/OS
* also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts
* around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration.
* Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required. It also
* doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r
* functions for threaded programs.
*
* The current setup is to assume either all standard functions are
* thread-safe (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=no), or the operating system
* requires reentrant function names (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=yes).
