Uh, that's probably because one of the installed libtool libraries you
link against was compiled with GCC and with -pthread, so it has that
flag in its inherited_linker_flags.  Easiest workaround would be to
remove that from the *.la file.

And yes, this is a libtool bug.  It should translate -pthread to the
spelling that your compiler uses for enabling threads.

Thanks for the report,
Ralf
