I hope that the intent behind asking this question was more of being curious, rather then considering dropping --without-threads: unfortunately, multithreading was, still is and probably will remain troublesome on many supercomputing platforms.
I was actually asking this question in the hope that we could perhaps simplify our range of build options (and the corresponding C #define's), but you made a convincing point that we should keep the --without-threads option :-)
Thank you
Antoine.
