CVS tip compiler error with --enable-thread-safety

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

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

OK, I have applied the following patch which should fix it.  Turns out I
wasn't using the thread libs as part of library creation.

I updated anoncvs, the patch in src/port/Makefile is there but initdb still 
fails to compile.

I suspect this is because in Makefile.global PTHREAD_LIBS is still blank. I 
need to add -lpthread these to get stuff working. However I could not figure 
out what create PTHREAD_LIBS in Makefile.global.

Is there something else I should try?

Well, that certainly is strange.  Config.log should show checks for a
variety of thread flags, and it should add any ones that your compiler
supports.  I would look in there for a cause or email me the whole file
offlist.
