Right. My main concern is that the BeOS thread support is broken and
incomplete at the moment.

As regards the GCC version, VLC should work with gcc 3.3 and up, although I
have not tried anything below 4.2 for a long time (VLC should work with any
almost-C99&C++ compiler, not just GCC).

Well... I doubt my employer is interested in BeOS, although I have no
informations on this.
