That's documented in the UG, in the MAC-specific section.

The threadsafe and odbc options are supposed to be autodetecting.  We seek
out functions and test them in the configure script, and, if they work, we
compile against them.  I guess the threadsafe test finds threadsafe
functions, but we don't use them correctly (or something).  And I thought
we were done.  ;-)

Is it the case that you have ODBC installed but not set up (because you
don't use it)?  

I should probably make that clearer in the UG.

Great!

No, they're not.  Some of the unit test cause error messages to be emitted
as a matter of course.
