Issues with libpthreads

[Peter Bex <Peter.Bex%xs4all.nl@localhost>]

Hi all,

I've been having some issues linking libraries to pthreads on the amd64
platform with 5.0 and 5.1.  (so far the macppc platform seems unaffected;
haven't tried any others).

I'm working on some bindings to libsvn_client with a dynamic language
(lang/chicken), but when those bindings are loaded using dlopen, I get
mostly random segfaults.  According to Aleksej Saushev this is a bug in
our libpthreads; he said that when linking something against pthreads
it is required to link everything else in the program to libpthreads too.

But that's impossible in this case; There are many other libraries that
I would like to use from Chicken, and many are third-party so I can't
just start linking them to libpthreads.

Is mixing and matching pthreads-using libraries with non-pthreads-using
libraries really impossible?

Cheers,
Peter
