I think since we do not export _SC_POSIX_THREADS and now that libpthread
symbols were all moved to libc, there is no need return the libpthread
for LDFLAGS.  However it requires to be handled on confstr and getconf:

Also now that we do not require a copyright assignment, you just need to add 
a sign-off on the email submission.
