Okay, that's good.  I was unsure if the fix should depend on ELF or not 
(I was fuzzy on whether it was converting to ELF or updating the system 
GCC that fixed the C++ shared libs).  The tests on my end look pretty 
good.  Combined with other pthread.buildlink3.mk fixes I'll be 
committing tonight, this should allow pkgsrc to correctly use the native 
pthread library on NetBSD.

I do think that we should bump the PKGREVISION for libtool-base as a 
result.  We also need to bump PKGREVISIONs for all packages that for 
which USE_LIBTOOL=yes and !empty(USE_LANGUAGES:Mc++), since this now 
correctly adds -lpthread to the C++ shared library dependencies, which 
wasn't happening before this change.

These changes should also be fed back upstream to the libtool 
developers, too.  I think that 1.5.x development has stopped, but 
they'll need something like this for the 2.x branch.

	Thanks!
