------- Comment #3 from Torsten Schoenfeld  2009-01-18 15:29 UTC -------
When you say you "couldn't make the package until I replaced -pthread with
-lpthread in Makefile", do you mean that compilation or linking fails without
this change?  What's the exact error message?

This happens because ExtUtils::MakeMaker (the module we use for generating the
Makefile) strips any linker flags it doesn't know, among which is -pthread.  So
the real fix would be for ExtUtils::MakeMaker to not strip this flag.

Simply replacing -pthread by -lpthread works around this problem (since EU::MM
recognizes -l<...> flags), but is not a real solution since, according to the
gcc man page:

-pthread
  ...
  This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
