Build without thread support
I am using this library in a project which decodes a H264 stream in Javascript / WebAssembly but due to Meltdown and Spectre it is very complicated to use pthread with emscripten in Firefox and Safari (see https://dzone.com/articles/webassembly-threads-in-firefox if you are interested about the topic).
My question is now, since I'm only using the decoder: would it be possible to disable thread support at all?
I've tried building without the "-pthread" flag but I get link errors when linking the "main executable" with emscripten.

openh264 does not have such kind of thread support scripts. You'd better see how the build script changes the command into openh264 build info.
