This is expected behavior -- libpthread is currently disconnected from the
build.  I'd actually like to see it connected to the build, with an
appropriate "WARNING: DRAGONS INCLUDED" man page also hooked up to
discourage accidental use.  At least, assuming David Xu, Jon Mini, etc,
are ready for the resulting bug reports they'll get.
