It sounds like we need a test for pthread_create() and another for pthread_join(). If either test finds a symbol in libpthread, we should set LIB_PTHREAD. Otherwise, we should leave it unset. The original test that worked on OSF/1 could be used in conjunction with an additional test for pthread_create(). Note that I originally sent this only to Bruno by mistake. I am resending it to everyone on CC.
