It still doesn't, the current situation is a botch that produces the
right results but does it in the wrong way.  Libraries should record

library).

I'd be quite shocked if the current version of Libtool produces
libraries with -pthread in dependency_libs; I specifically wrote the
patch to prevent that, because it causes a lot of problems.
