When you try to create a thread, your program terminates and writes a 
message that threading is not supported. Things like threadvar work in 
the sense that they compile and work, but since you don't have threads, 
they behave just like regular vars. Underneath they still generate the 
extra bloat needed for threadvars (e.g. calls to FPC_THREADVAR_RELOCATE, 
which are probably stubs and do nothing in the rtl)
