Re: Issue with added '-threads' added while using Intel 2024.0.0 C compiler icx

Hello,

I'm sorry for top posting.
Multithread library does not mean that 
program(utility,command,application) is multithreaded.

 From my point of view libraries must not export information for 
threads. This could be from either shell config-script, or 
"package-config file, or predefined autoconf macros.
