-lpthread

[David Chisnall]

Hi,

It seems that recent GNUstep does not supply the -lpthread flag to the  
linker, just -pthread.  The semantics of -pthread are really badly  
defined - on some platforms it does nothing, on some it sets some  
macros, on some it implies -lpthread, on others it does not.

The problem I am encountering is that libobjc and foundation both  
depend on pthread symbols, but are not being linked against the  
pthread library.  Is it possible to modify the configure script for  
gnustep-base so that it will link directly against libpthread?   
Otherwise we end up with apps that make no direct use of threads  
failing to build because they have an indirect dependency.
