The official way to get pthread support on Tru64 with the Compaq C
compiler is to use "-pthread" in the CFLAGS.  You aren't supposed to add
"-lpthread" to the libraries manually.

If you use gcc, you need to compile with "-D_REENTRANT" and link with
"-lpthread -lexc" at the end of the line.

I guess the configure should check the setting of CC to determine the
correct flags.
