Hi folks,

I applied Thomas Thomas's pthreads stuff to the debian package source and am 
trying to build.  I am
trying to use glibc's libpthread.  So I get the following error(s):

make: *** No rule to make target `libpthread', needed by `libiohelp'.  Stop.

I am thinking that this line in Makeconf is the issue:

# More useful version of HURDLIBS
library_deps=$(foreach lib,$(HURDLIBS),$(..)lib$(lib)/lib$(lib).so)

I can't see anyway there that it would use libpthread from /usr/lib/...  Now of 
course we don't
usually want to use /usr/lib/... because it would pick up the currently 
installed libs instead of
the built ones but we need to make exceptions.  Do you think we should have a 
section like OTHERLIBS
or something?  Or should pthreads be removed from HURDLIBS and use -lpthread?

Thanks!

Barry
