Can you explain the motivation for wanting to force the whole
libpthread.a to get linked into any static multithreaded program? This
sounds like gratuitous bloating unless there's a real problem that
arises when only the explicitly used parts are linked in, and in that
case I would suspect there's just some misuse of weak symbols or weak
references breaking things...
