 It does use the libtool.
 
 I made the configure script skip its check for libqt-mt and the rest of 
 the build worked fine and it ran fine. Thanks for the hint.
 
 I used CONFIGURE_ENV+= qt_cv_libname=-lqt-mt
 
 I see the lyx binary doesn't link with libpthread but does have:
 
 objdump -x ~/pkg/bin/lyx | egrep 'NEEDED.*(thread|libc)'
    NEEDED      libc_r.so.5
    NEEDED      libc.so.6
 
 I had saw some old messages somewhere at gobase about qt3-libs using 
 packages failing unless -pthreads was added so I wonder if libqt-mt should 
 be linked.
 
 I will contact the lyx-devel list to suggest that their configure script 
 check for threads before checking for libqt-mt.
