Hi Paul,

Unbound uses http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/acx_pthread.html
in acx_pthread.m4.  It uses configure-style compilation tests to see
what works, and tries -pthread (CFLAGS) and later -lpthread (LIBS).  It
does not try both at once.

For me, I end up with -pthread in the CFLAGS. This is included on the
commandline when linking.  Perhaps -pthread is enough when linking, or
does it have to be -lpthread ?  If so, the configure test to link with
- -pthread should be failing and perhaps a test added to the macro and
submitted upstream.

If the new system has pthread-config you can set both cflags and libs
with that, no patch required.

Best regards,
    Wouter
