Libtool assumes that everything is built with the same compiler.  In 
the case of threads (and particularly on Solaris) it is important for 
the option to be preserved, or dependent programs/libraries might not 
work.  This is because Solaris provides some stub pthread functions 
via weak symbols which do nothing (and return an error code) so that 
thread-safe libraries may be used by single-threaded programs.
