Re: wget2 | Switch to C11 threads (!509)

[@rockdaboot]

Tim Rühsen commented:


Issues with C11 threads currently are
- MSVC does not know `threads.h`
- MinGW cross-compiler doesn't know `threads.h`
- Gnulib supports Windows/cross-compilation (offers a `threads.h`), but when 
testing with Wine, `cnd_timedout()` always immediately returns. Gnulib does not 
support Wine, so there won't be a fix for this.
- for cross-builds, the `--enable-threads=windows` should be used. If not, 
winpthreads is used when found and this library is broken. Bruno Haible (gnulib 
maintainer) suggested to use `gl_AVOID_WINPTHREAD` in `configure.ac`.
