X-Git-Tag: suricata-2.1beta3~67
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fa8922ccdb4e18d5d4beee84fc425ee1d9a3bdc;p=thirdparty%2Fsuricata.git

configure: add switch to disable __thread use

Add --disable-threading-tls switch to force the posix thread local
storage code paths even if __thread is available.

Goal is to make it easier to QA the posix code path.

     #AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION don't seem to do a better job than the code below and are a pain because of extra m4 files etc.
