I found this discussion:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4486584/what-is-difference-between-libmysqlclient-a-and-libmysqlclient-r-a

"Newer versions of the MySQL client distributions do not include the "_r"
version"
and
"libmysqlclient_r.a is "re-entrant". .. But as ..  pointed out, there is no
difference in newer versions (both are re-entrant).


However .. the codebase for libmariadb is the 3.23 libmysql (what was LGPL
licensed - later versions were not and are not). So this could be something
added in libmysql that libmariadb did not consider and this could be the
reason. But we (Webyog) have no problems with coding multithreaded
applications using libmariadb. But I am not a programmer, so I cannot
comment further.


This belongs to Georg Richter!
