Hello,
Having a cursory look at the compiler sources, it seems that these flags simply include the directory with the corresponding backend threads.cm[x]a library [1]
Is this the only effect of these flags in the compiler ? That is am I right thinking that this is just:
-thread = -I+threads
-vmthread = -I+vmthreads
and that's all ?
If that's the case shouldn't we maybe deprecate these flags, they seem to be the source of problems with ocamlfind which has special code paths for dealing them which has all sorts of strange effects.
Best,
Daniel
