FWIW, permissions look okay:
>> $ ls -l /emul/linux/lib|grep pthread
>> -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    90390 Nov 20 11:11 libpthread-0.10.so
>> lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       18 Nov 20 11:11 libpthread.so.0 ->
>> libpthread-0.10.so
>>
>> $ ls -ld /emul/linux/lib
>> drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  2048 Nov 20 11:11 /emul/linux/lib

Sorry - this concerns me too - symlinks to /emul/linux/usr/lib but from 
where?

[Are we linking one directory called 'lib' (/emul/linux/usr/lib) to 
another one called 'lib' (/usr/lib or /usr/pkg/lib)?]

TIA
