Compiling libparted with -D_REENTRANT ...

[Timshel Knoll]

Hi,

I've been compiling parted with -D_REENTRANT for quite some time now,
and I was thinking that it might be a good idea to do this upstream.
If any linux threaded programs are linked with a libparted not compiled
with -D_REENTRANT, there may be issues with stdio and errno stuff.

Here's a hack patch to libparted/Makefile.am that I use to do the job:

---begin---

 lib_LTLIBRARIES              = libparted.la
 libparted_la_LDFLAGS  = -version-info 4:0:0
---end---

But you might want to put in an autoconfuse test for this or
something ...

I know that this isn't really an issue at the moment, but if anyone
decides to write some threaded code that uses parted, there could be
issues involved ...

Thanks,

Timshel
