    What does it mean when it says...
    The default is to compile without thread support.
    Does it mean that it installs a thread module or there are some internal code base protection that are copiled and used to prevent race conditions in threads?

      without thread support

      means just what it says. There will be no module threads, and there will be no support for more than one thread at a time.
