It's (largely) a side-effect of (inconsistent) pkgsrc defaults
regarding threading.  It's not that programs are dlopen()ing
libpthread deliberately themselves, but that there are a bunch of
programs dlopen()'ing various "plugins" that were compiled elsewhere
in pkgsrc with -pthread, and thus the .so has a linker dependency on
libpthread.
