Unless you're running a very old system, I wouldn't have thought you'd
want those at all. Nowadays libc6-dev provides everything necessary in
the way of thread headers, unless ubuntu have done something funny to
the libc/pthread package structure.

Note that the preferred Linux thread mechanism changed completely a
few years back, from linuxthreads, a glibc add-on which does
everything in userspace, to NPTL (Native Posix Thread Library), where
threading is performed in the kernel.

It looks like you have a mixture of linuxthreads and NPTL headers. I'd
try removing those libpthread packages and see what happens.

What version of the kernel are you running (`uname -r`) ?
