liblthread is devel/linuxthreads - a FreeBSD port of the old linux
thread library, which simulated threads using processes.  See rfork(2)
for an idea of how this was done.  On Linux, it was named libkthread; I
don't think FreeBSD ever had a libkthread, so this may actually be an
error in acx_pthreads.
