    And I mentioned exactly this. It's my third alternative.

    And it doesn't work well, exactly because developers don't know if the
    libraries they use are always single-threaded etc. More importantly, it
    just doesn't happen that much. People do "make ; make install". Hopefully
    from pretty standard sources. Having to tweak things so that a project
    compiles with a magic flag on a particular distribution is simply not done
    very much.
