I also need configure tests for thread for one of my other application and
don't know how to put them. So I have left those as additional ldflags
options to users.
I suggest we somehow test following config to start with
1) Linuxthreads on linux
Threads are usually installed in /usr/ So pthread.h and -lpthread should work
on most setups.
2) Native freeBSD threads
pthread.h in /usr/include and lc_r
3)linuxthreads on freeBSD, ports collection
/usr/local/include/pthreads/linuxthreads/pthread.h
/usr/local/lib/libpthread.so
For testing the library, I think it is enough to init an thread attr. like
pthread_init_attr, that should be enough to test header and library.
I don't how we are going to let people specify thread implementation where
there are multiple thread libraries are available .e.g. freeBSD.
