On 4.x, you need to compile threaded applications with the -pthread
flag. On 5.x, you should use -lc_r. When linking with pthread or
libc_r, you should not also link with libc as this has been known to
cause problems with multi-threaded applications.
What ports are broken because of this? Any port which can't find
-pthread or -lc_r on its own should have ${PTHREAD_LIBS} added to its
LIBS configure argument. With that, there are also some thread-related
CFLAGS that should be added. These are defined by the ports system as
${PTHREAD_CFLAGS}.
