I haven't checked which part (apart from named) might need libpthread
(or equivalent). One thing comes to my mind:
having installations without a thread library installed as in
 	WITHOUT_LIBC_R=
 	WITHOUT_LIBPTHREAD=
 	WITHOUT_LIBTHR=
(or whatever an up-to-date current would be).

I remember that at least pppctl is one of the few other programs
that needs a threading library in base.
