Recently, pppctl was made thread-enabled, meaning that it relies on
libc_r.  This makes the NOLIBC_R cannot be used with buildworld anymore.
Given that making pppctl depend on !NOLIBC_R may not be all that helpful,
it looks like we may need to lose NOLIBC_R.  Presumably over time, threads
in default system applications will only become more popular.  Any
thoughts (especially in light of upcoming KSE changes, which will make
threading integral to the system architecture)?
