And there is another thing: I seem to remember that the getting rid of 
-pthread (I remember at one time -pthread was completely gone from gcc in 
-CURRENT, why this was reversed I don't know) was meant to facilitate using 
one of the three threads-libraries now available in -CURRENT: libc_r, 
libpthread (formerly libkse) and libthr. How is this supposed to be possible 
with -pthread? And if -pthread will always link to libpthread, won't the 
problem then still be the same if someone chooses to set PTHREAD_LIBS to 
-lthr/-lc_r?
