No, it doesn't place -pthread in dependency_libs, because older versions
of Libtool break extremely heavily when found their.  It should honour
it on the command line or if found in dependency_libs though.

There's another more interesting bug caused by Libtool's use of -
nostdlib, gcc will actually fail to link -lpthread in with this flag
even if you give -pthread on the command line.

We shouldn't be using -nostdlib anyway.
