That should be updated.

Note that MK_LIBTHR == "NO" implies MK_LIBPTHREAD == "NO" (see bsd.own.mk), 
but not the other way around.  So for now the correct knob to check in 
Makefiles is MK_LIBTHR (since it gets set to NO in both the WITHOUT_LIBTHR 
and WITHOUT_LIBPTHREAD cases, but MK_LIBPTHREAD isn't set to NO if you just 
do WITHOUT_LIBTHR).

Yes.
