No, this is not the case for any Debian platforms. On some platforms, -pthread is sufficient *because* it implies -lpthreads; but in all cases, libgssapi needs to be linking against libpthreads because it uses symbols from it, therefore "-pthread -lpthreads" is at worst redundant and at best it's exactly what's needed. > b) heimdal uses libtool (from sarge currently), and libtool should do > the right thing? (perhaps sarge is not a sufficient version). What I read in the bug log is that libtool sometimes tries to be *clever*, and therefore gets things wrong. That's not the case here; libtool is simply passing the linker arguments through unmodified. I don't see any reason why we should expect libtool to second-guess gcc itself regarding the meaning of "-pthread". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
