Subject: [PATCH] libtool: handle the -pthread{,s} options for g++
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.patches
Date: Thursday 28th November 2013 14:18:05 UTC (over 4 years ago)

As we are forced to pass -nostdlib to g++ for linking, this option
expectedly disables the effectiveness of passed -pthread flag - so
add the -lpthread explicitly to $deplibs to link correctly.

* build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Explicitly add -lpthread
flag into $deplibs when -pthread is passed (for g++ only).
