Argl, I hate when this happens. I ran the test with gcc, then started 
writing the mail and attached the output, then repeated the test with 
-pthread on the command line (which overwrote the output of the previous 
test) and then I sent the mail. :-(

Attached is once more the output of the predefined macros. This time, no 
_REENTRANT is present. The exact command used was "gcc -ansi -dM -E".

Sorry for the confusion,
Markus
