This is expected: When shared libraries are linked with -pthread, the linker 
only resolves the necessary symbols but does not emit a DT_NEEDED symbol for 
the resulting shared library, it only does for programs.

Bottom line: Pthread symbols must always be resolved through the actual 
program. Make sure the program that uses wxruby is linked with -pthread as 
well.
