Yes, the --enable-nspr-threads configure option is only supported on certain platforms. This configure option means "use NSPR's own user-level thread library". That library was written before pthreads became widely available. Once pthreads became widely available, we stopped porting NSPR's user-level thread library to new platforms. For your SCTP work, you don't need to support the --enable-nspr-threads configure option. Wan-Teh
