Sorry for the slow response.
This worked. Actually I had to include in netlib.a and pcap.a and only link
in libpthread. Nevertheless the problem is fixed
My only excuse is that I didn't write that mess, it was distributed by my
ISP.
Thanks much for the help

Not quite. From what I can tell, you aren't linking pthread to your
program, you are including it as one of the object files in your
program. So, gcc is shoving the whole libpthread.a in your binary.
This works better:
cc -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -g main.o
pppoe-discover.o -L. -lpcap -lnet -lpthread -o pppoe
Instead of directly specifying the path of libraries, the best way
is to
link to them with '-l'. The linker looks first for a shared (.so)
library (because the -shared option is implied), and then for a
static
(.a) library. '-L.' tells the linker to also look for library files
in
the current directory.
The resulting executable is dynamically linked with pthread (a
standard
libc component..no need to statically link this) and libc, and
statically linked with everything else, per 'ldd pppoe'.
