Re: "-pthread" == "-lpthread" for shared libs in -CURRENT

Quoting Alexander Kabaev <kabaev@xxxxxxxxx> (from Wed, 13 Jun 2007 08:37:51 -0400):

I think this was related to the way we used to support threads in
3.x/early 4.x releases. The program was supposed to link with either
libc or libc_r, but not both and having both libraries loaded at the
same time was really bad idea. Recording dependency to libc_r or libc
into shared libraries makes shared libraries that work in both threaded
and non-threaded programs impossible.

So we can switch to recording the lib dependencies in libs now? I think this would help to let firefox do some SSO stuff with kerberos (loading it as a plugin causes it to moan because some depending lib is not loaded, bsam@ should be able to explain the technical details).

Bye,
Alexander.
