I've wondered that myself for some time, at first blaming libtool (always an easy target :-), but the answer is simple: many specs (like FBSD_LIB_SPEC in config/freebsd-spec.h) have #define FBSD_LIB_SPEC " \ %{!shared: \ %{!pg: %{pthread:-lpthread} -lc} \ %{pg: %{pthread:-lpthread_p} -lc_p} \ }" No idea why, and I strongly believe this is far more trouble than it's worth. Consider the complicated contortions you have to go through to get working TLS support on Solaris 8 and 9. I consider it insane that this would only for when creating an executable, but to have to duplicate it manually when building a shared object. Rainer
Ping. Can anyone please approve this so that GCC 4.6.0 and the next release of GCC 4.5 at least will see this fixed?

Are you planning to change this for your ports? I see a similar construct in config/mips/iris6.h, and if I understand you correctly also Solaris still is like that? Should we give this a try for FreeBSD? (Loren? Others?) Gerald

I've changed Solaris to support -pthread with -shared when fixing TLS support for Solaris 8 and 9. Forcing users to manually pass all the necessary flags just wasn't an option. I may well do the same for Tru64 UNIX and IRIX, if only for consistencies sake. If anyone has an idea why this is disabled almost everywhere, I'd be grateful. Rainer
