Well it avoids gcc warnings in case PTHREAD_LIBS == '-lkse'.

OK, but let's keep it that way then.

Let's go and fix some ports then, and everybody will be happy :) But if this is really the way to go, we probably need some hack to bsd.port.mk to make PTHREAD_LIBS standard because otherwise every port that needs a threads library needs to have PTHREAD_LIBS hacks. --Stijn -- Help Wanted: Telepath.
