 SOLARIS THREADS:
 
-The collector must be compiled with -DGC_THREADS to be thread safe.
+Threads support is enabled by configure "--enable-threads=posix" option.
+(In case of GCC compiler, multi-threading support is on by default.)
+This causes the collector to be compiled with -D GC_THREADS (or
+-D GC_SOLARIS_THREADS) ensuring thread safety.
 This assumes use of the pthread_ interface.  Old style Solaris threads
 are no longer supported.
+Thread-local allocation is now on by default.  Parallel marking is on by
+default starting from GC v7.3 but it could be enabled or disabled manually
+by the corresponding "--enable/disable-parallel-mark" options.
 
 It is also essential that gc.h be included in files that call pthread_create,
 pthread_join, pthread_detach, or dlopen.  gc.h macro defines these to also do
