-- | This function used set the multithreading mode of LLVM, but that feature no longer exists. Threading is
-- controlled only at runtime with the configure flag --enable-threads (default is YES). This function will
-- now check that the the compiled-in multithreading support (returned by 'isMultithreaded') is
-- sufficient to support the requested access, and fail if not, so as to prevent uncontrolled use of a
-- version of LLVM compiled to be capable only of singled threaded use by haskell code requesting
-- multithreading support.
