So the packages need to have a recent libtool. According to the upstream
the "-pthread" is not a bug and needed on some systems ... so why
removing it ?

Work fine on one system ? I don't think it's enough to justify the flag
removal ..


Any idea of what's the problem ? In my opinion the right solution is to
run libtool on the packages which provide a old libtool.
