What do you mean by not being available? You mean there is no threading 
support in this particular compiler version? Or that the threading 
functions are somehow broken?

AFAIK, it's always the posix thread lib of the underlying OS which is linked.

Yes, every test but the last two had to be killed manually.

Do you have any tests which allow to enable more tracing that would enable 
us to see where the tests are actually hanging? As they are consuming 100% 
CPU when hung, I think that this might lead us somewhere.
