I don't know, but it hasn't been -pthread in current in over
2.5 years. Yes, -pthread was there as a bandaid, but it wasn't
_the_ way to build threaded applications under -current. So,
-pthread _was_ the safety belt.

I agree. This is only the first step, though. Once ports
get through this, there may be another hurdle once libkse
becomes libpthread again. Autoconf may autodetect the presence
of a libpthread and link to it, in conjunction with linking
to ${PTHREAD_LIBS} being picked up somewhere else in the
port. Just try building XFree86-4 or kde with libpthread
(libkse installed as libpthread) and ${PTHREAD_LIBS} set
to libc_r. It links to both libraries.
