 Fortunately for us, the port doesn't link any threading
 libraries. 5.0 doesn't like -pthread only -lc_r. Threads is an
 area that is changing daily especially with KSE comming, in
 fact, there is a threads mailing list. 
 
 The ports tree has ${PTHREADS_CFLAGS} $(PTHREAD_LIBS} variables,
 so when possible I left that decision to the makefiles in my
 ports. 
  
 cheers,
 
     Pedro.
