I don't think it is safe to make this assumption on any system.  All I can
suggest is to make sure that _REENTRANT is defined and that you use the
reentrant versions, if available, of a given function.  

A better place to ask about this issue would be one of the GNU newsgroups
since Debian uses pretty much the same glibc2 that most glibc2 Linux
distributions use.
