andoni on IRC pointed out the -no-pthread option.  You can pass this
to the gcc front end to prevent automatically linking in libpthread
when you don't need it.

I still am baffled why this target would default the pthread linking
option to always on, even when -pthread is not specified.  This seems
like an upstream gcc bug.
