Comment (by kencu):

 Snow Leopard has no thread-local storage with libc++ or with the standard
 stdlibc++ that you get to with llvm-gcc-4.2. So on those build systems,
 you would need to use `--disable-reentrant`.

 However, Snow Leopard does support thread-local storage with the newer
 libgcc that you can access with gcc5+ (or with Marcus' recent clang-3.9
 macports-libstdc++ shenanigans)
 {{{

 checking whether to enable reentrancy support... yes
 checking for thread local storage (TLS) class specifier... _Thread_local
 checking if libtool needs -no-undefined flag to build shared libraries...
 no
 }}}
 and in that configuration, glpk will build without modification. So it's
 not trivial to make a hard and fast rule about this.

 Brainless approach -- just `--disable-reentrant` on 10.6 and be done with
 it.

 Artistic approach - check for the build system and disable it selectively,
 if cxx_stdlib ne macports-libstdc++. May be more trouble than it's worth?
