BTW: The warning originates from ExtUtils::MakeMaker composing its linker flags.
It doesn't reckognize -pthread as library, and filters it out. On FC4/i386,
-pthread is a linker short cut to -lpthread, i.e. -pthread is a valid linker
flag and should not be filtered out.

Whether having -pthread in libs is clever design is a different question.

Nope - FC4/i386

When you check the build logs, you'll notice that -pthread is being used during
compilation:
...
 gcc ... -pthread ...
...

but is being dropped during linkage:
...
gcc  -shared -L/usr/local/lib xs/GnomeCanvas.o xs/GnomeCanvasBpath.o
xs/GnomeCanvasItem.o xs/GnomeCanvasPathDef.o xs/GnomeCanvasRichText.o
xs/GnomeCanvasShape.o xs/GnomeCanvasUtil.o -o
blib/arch/auto/Gnome2/Canvas/Canvas.so  
-lgnomecanvas-2 -lart_lgpl_2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0
-latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lgthread-2.0
...

=> Canvas.so is not explicitly linked against -lpthread.

The question now is, if this has a functional impact on this package or not.
