Apologies, I didn't express myself very well.
I mean for gcc, the setting of BOOST_HAS_THREADS doesn't change depending upon any compiler options. Rather, whether or not it gets set depends upon how the user configured and installed gcc their copy of gcc.
OK, understood. Then, we have the somewhat unfortunate situation that in GCC environments Boost.Build links / does not link Pthreads depending on whether the threading parameter is multi / single, whereas Boost.Config does not reflect this situation in any manner! As most GCC environments (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) are nowadays multithreaded, would it make sense to change GCC Boost.Build bjam rules so that threading=simple results in BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS being defined?
