It would be nice to get better error reporting in this case. Perhaps
there could a stub for the thread creation function that displays a
message and aborts?
Or if that is for some reason difficult to get right, one could add a
special function ensure_threads_are_enabled that can be called from
the multithreaded mainloop in libtrivfs? The implementation included
with the stubs should display a message and abort, while the
implementation in the real threads library should do nothing.
