News to me.

In any case, gawk's use of it is (and will remain) single-threaded.
It'd be nice if your fix did not pull in more libraries, like libpthread
or whatever, since that would considerably complicate things for me,
for no actual gain w.r.t. gawk.

I'm curious what is the use case for multithreaded dfa?

Thanks,
