+! In release 2.34, glibc removed libpthread as a separate library. All the
+! pthread_* functions were subsumed into libc, so linking that is sufficient.
+! However, when linking against older glibc builds, the explicit link of

+! This makes it difficult to write a test that requires the -pthread flag in
+! order to pass. Checking for the presence of -lpthread in the linker flags is
+! not reliable since the linker could just skip the flag altogether if it is
