   i've modified wasi-libc and wasi-sdk (PRs pending) so that you always have the concurrency APIs (pthread_*, thrd_*, <thread>, <mutex>, <atomic>) available to you, even in single-threaded targets. this makes porting applications (especially C++ ones) much, _much_ easier!

   https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc/pull/602
   https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/pull/548

   this took me quite a bit of work and i'm glad to have it done

     with these PRs, i should be able to submit changes soon to port upstream Clang and LLD for them to build for single-threaded WASI targets, and i'll also ship yowasp-clang for the browser

     @azonenberg only synchronization primitives, pthread_create() always returns EAGAIN.

     @whitequark Are you just talking synchronization primitives, or actual thread creation emulated somehow by a cooperative multitasking mechanism?

     @whitequark this is seriously great; just heard a colleague tell me that this work will seriously help with building SpiderMonkey on Wasm too (StarlingMonkey) - seriously, thank you for putting in all of this work and upstreaming it!
