It appears that Mingw gcc included in RTools is missing a dependent

support), I get a errors about undefined references to functions like

following error:
c:/rtools/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:

Sure enough, there is neither libpthread.a nor libpthread.dll under
RTools' installation directory. I think these library are standard in
Cygwin. Is there any chance to include them in RTools, too?
Rtools is for building R, and that library isn't needed in R. If you want it
for some particular purpose, can't you just install a copy on your machine?
Yes, I can. But does it make sense for the compiler to have support
for OpenMP (i.e., allow -fopenmp), but not include its library
dependency so that it fails in the linking phase?
For the MinGW project, yes. The 'Min' stands for 'minimal'.
Note that there are a lot of issues with gcc using pthreads for OMP on
Windows, and the gcc developers are working on a different solution.
