[Boost-users] Boost.Threads, gcc and HP-UX

I've noticed that in
    boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp
this lines:
  #ifdef __GNUC__
     // GNU C on HP-UX does not support threads (checked up to gcc 3.3)
    #  define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS
  #endif
have been added in version 1.30.x.

Please, ¿can someone explain me why?
I have commented out the #define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS and it works in
gcc 3.2 with HP-UX 11.00.

We do not use Jam to build the library, but I think that that doesn't
matter.

gcc --version:
  gcc (GCC) 3.2
