Consider the following 3 line program: main () { pthread_create(); }
This compiles and links with gcc -mno-cygwin -o zz zz.c -lpthread It should not link since this is part of a configure test for threads AC_SEARCH_LIBS(pthread_create, -lpthread) that should fail with CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' There are 2 problems here: 1) gcc -mno-cygwin searches for libs in /usr/lib. Should it? 2) libpthread.a is link to libcygwin.a. If the thread routines were in a separate library the link would still fail as it should.
