No, this simple Makefile:
.include <../../mk/dlopen.buildlink3.mk>
print:
@echo MACHPLAT_DEF ${MACHPLAT_DEF}
@echo MACHPLAT_START ${MACHPLAT_START}
@echo MACHPLAT_SEARCH ${MACHPLAT_SEARCH}
@echo MACHPLAT_MATCH ${MACHPLAT_MATCH}
@echo MACHPLAT_DLOPEN ${MACHPLAT_DLOPEN}
has _BLNK_DLOPEN_REQUIRE_PTHREADS on startup (the variables printed here
are things I added in dlopen.builtin.mk to see what's defined at various
places.
