Yep, I see that too:
gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -O1 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Kthread -kthread -pthread -pthreads -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS-fpic -I. -I../../../src/include -I/usr/local/include/readline -I/usr/contrib/include
-I../../../src/port-DFRONTEND -c -o fe-auth.o fe-auth.cgcc: unrecognized option `-Kthread'gcc: unrecognized option
`-kthread'gcc:unrecognized option `-pthreads'
What is happening is that config/acx_pthread.m4 is now adding any option
that allows it to compile, so we get -pthread and -lpthread for Linux,
among other things.
The problem is that for certain flags, gcc reports the option as
unrecognized, but doesn't generate an error. I can't think of how to
check for such output from the compiler from configure.
