Hey guys, I've been working with some friends who are trying to get HDF5 1.8.x packaged up for debian/ubuntu, and at issue is the conflict between --enable-cxx and --enable-threadsafe in the 1.8.x series.

I know I've talked to people before and received answers from "We're not sure" to "Just disable the check in the configure.ac". Fedora just hacked up the configure and ships with threadsafe-enabled c++ libs. I'm hoping people have another recommendation, as the Debian packagers are wary of deviating from upstream too much. And of course, shipping a separate thread-safe and non-thread-safe HDF5 lib such that we can then also ship the c++ non-thread-safe lib seems really suboptimal. 


Thanks,
