This looks all right.

Looking more closely at the freeradius build, I suppose the file
work/freeradius-1.1.4/config.status contains a line similar to this

  s,@LIBS@,|#_!!_#|-lresolv,g

This is where "-pthread" is missing for you. Consequently the
automatically generated file Make.inc has a line like:
  LIBS            = -lresolv

and all Makefiles using Make.inc will not use the correct libraries.

Please search for "checking pthread.h usability" in
work/freeradius-1.1.4/config.log and have a look at the lines following
that one. A working configuration stage ought to have put this in the file:

  checking pthread.h usability
  ...
  result: yes
  checking pthread.h presence
  ...
  result: yes
  checking for pthread.h
  result: yes
  checking for pthread_create in  -pthread
  ...
  result: yes

I guess the check for "pthread_create in  -pthread" did not work for you
because that is the place where "-pthread" is added to the LIBS
variable. Please show those lines from config.log described above.
