Re: state of --with-threads=POSIX_THREADS?

I used to test threads builds on 32 bit OSX (even on PowerPC) but haven't
done so in the last year - currently I'm running and testing on 64 bit El
Capitan (10.11.2).
If there is general agreement that it's worthwhile I can spend time on 32
bit OSX support.

Also I'll try to handle timely bug reports for threading issues
