-T is absolutely a lifesaver when working together.  i updated
libthread with chanisclosed(2) support recently.  i forgot to warn
everyone that the Channel structure had changed and everything
using the thread library needed to be recompiled.  the bad news
was i got a week's reports of linker errors.  the good news was
nothing that linked broke in mysterious ways.  it would be nearly
impossible to make changes like that in a production environment
without -T.
