Yes but :-)
I looked at threadsafe.c, and the problem function which is
tds_gethostbyname_r. The function will call gethostbyname,
getipnodebyname or gethostbyname_r. So, if your gethostbyname is
not reentrant, and you don't have getipnodebyname or gethostbyname_r,
compilation will fail even if you --disable-threadsafe. If you define
NETDB_REENTRANT, the non-threadsafe gethostbyname will be called, so
this is a work around. tds_gethostbyname_r does not try getaddrinfo.
Cheers,
Patrick
