Is -pthread not a dependency that should be passed on?

[Peter Ekberg]

Hello!

In the GGI project (www.ggi-project.org) we have a
problem on FreeBSD that is a bit annoying. We build
a shared library (libgg) that depends on pthreads,
and would like anything that uses that library to
automatically pick up the needed -pthread flag on,
just as is done if -lpthread is needed on other
platforms.

I don't know how correct this patch is in general,
but it does solve our problem.

Patch for libtool-1.9d attached.

Please consider!

If it is not correct in general for all the threading
flags, please do a variant that only passes on the
-pthread flag or only does it on FreeBSD or whatever...

Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed.

Cheers,
Peter
