I'm all for fixing things. But my fear is that it will probably be very difficult to convince the different upstream project maintainers that they *must* now link with libpthread. Unless of course, we each time come up with a mechanism (autoconf logic, CMake logic, etc.) that determines whether linking with libpthread is needed or not.
