As long as the app isn't linked with -lpthread, the only difference
you should see is that it will run ever-so-slightly slower when it's
compiled with -D_REENTRANT. The only time you should see a
significant slow down is when an app is linked with -lpthread. Of
course, in that case, the app should be making good use of threads.
