I find it strange that builds of sbbs would succeed however. @Deuce, does sbbs use the same cryptlib function calls that you recently added to SCFG?

At first glance, I would think this might be a single versus multi-threaded build issue, but it looks like that was also addressed in the commit.

And this code is building fine on Debian 10.

In response to your question on the programming echo: I did a cleanall.sh and attempted to rebuild. The error remains.

I don't know if you have a CentOS 7.9 box around; I'd be willing to give you or Deuce access to mine if required.

Giving me access could help... it looks like very old glibc versions may not have properly made pthread_atexit() available for use in libraries. Not sure what versions CentOS is using.

Send an SSH pubkey to scott AT scottcomstock.com and I'll give you access to the sbbs account
