I see. So the mystery is why configure didn't put "-L/usr/pkg/lib
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib" in the file ".../pthreads/Makefile". Do
"config.log" and "config.status" indicate that the test for pthreads
passed? At the top, package level, what is the result of "make -V
LDFLAGS -V CONFIGURE_ENV"?

It may be that no one's ever tried to build it againt NetBSD-1.5T.

Don't think that would matter. It's not picking up a wrong library.
The flags to tell it where libpthreads is are completely missing.
