The *standard* (i.e. ANSI C89) version is not thread safe. However,
starting from 4.61 (released on Jan 2017) glpk can be used in
multi-threaded programs on some platforms (including GNU/Linux and MS
Windows); for more details please see:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-glpk/2017-01/msg00111.html .
(It's better to use the most recent version, which is 4.63.)
