Hi,
Platform Slackware linux 9.1/ Linux 2.6.4
I did a make distclean and ./configure --enable-thread-safety. The build
aborted with following error messages
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/shridhar/postgresql/pgsql/src/port'

The relevant configure messages read
-------------
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... yes
-------------
Here is relevant portion of src/Makefile.global
-------------
PTHREAD_CFLAGS = -pthread -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS
PTHREAD_LIBS =
LIBS = -lz -lreadline -ltermcap -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm
-------------
It worked after I manually added -lpthread to LIBS and did a make clean;make
