Some, but not a complete picture. This issue is caused by various versions
of the Debian libtool package dealing with flags '-pthread' in a wrong way.
This resulted in .la files that have the '-pthread' in the wrong places, and
causes ?older? libtool scripts to produce the error message you see.
Try relibtoolising your package. If that proves not to be sufficient, you'll
need to tighten your build dependencies to ensure that they have already
been relibtoolised.
