Threads are not enabled by default. (Though arguably they should be on
Linux.) To get a threaded SBCL grab the sourcecode, do

 echo "(lambda (f) (cons :sb-thread f))" > customize-target-features.lisp

build SBCL

 sh make.sh &> log

and install it:

 sudo sh install.sh

But they are afaik intended to be on in the linux x86 and x86-64
binaries. So probably just a matter of whoever built the binary
forgetting to switch it on.
