krb5-config --libs gssapi prints out "-pthread" - why makes this my build fail?

[Achim Grolms <achim@grolmsnet.de>]

Hello,

I am trying to build GSSAPI-using sofware (mod_auth_kerb in that case)
against an installation of Heimdal 0.7.2

The output of

   krb5-config --libs gssapi

is

   -L/home/achim/local/heimdal_0.7.2/lib -lgssapi -lkrb5 -lasn1 -lcom_err
   -lcrypto -lroken -lcrypt -ldl -lresolv -pthread

I do not understand what the '-pthread' is thought for:
The Buildsystem of mod_auth_kerb passes 

   "-L/home/achim/local/heimdal_0.7.2/lib -lgssapi -lkrb5 -lasn1 -lcom_err
   -lcrypto -lroken -lcrypt -ldl -lresolv -pthread"

to the linker, but during linking (Linux x86)) ld fails with

   /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
   unrecognized option '-pthreads'

Can you help me find out what I am doing wrong?


Thank you, Achim
