libpthread is pulled in by librt, which is needed for clock_gettime. libm is
needed for fesetround.
libm should be easy to eliminate, but may be used by many other tools and not
worth the trouble. sleep can be compiled to use gettimeofday instead of
clock_gettime, but I don't know what the side effects would be.
