Wrong. Also, when having XF4 install, many things cannot be installed without having LDFLAGS+=-pthread (for example: fltk, kde2 ..) and even changing some makefiles by hand or by perl -pi when LDFLAGS doesn't help :( The reason for this is AFAICT is that libGL is linked with -pthread, but this information absent in the libGL.so, so the linker doesn't know that libs that depend on libGL have to be linked with -pthread in order to link properly. Digging in XF4 makefiles it seems that everything is done properly, so I'm afraid that since it's not an external lib, say libpthread, this information cannot be stored in libGL.so I hope that I'm wrong, someone, please correct me..
