This is almost option 1 and it does not work: sendmail forks and loose
the environment I try to give it.

pam-saml, cy2-saml and lasso do not use mutex or condvar or any
thread-related stuff. They just get the libpthread.so dependency because
lasso is linked with libgobject-2.0.so and that one has some
thread-related stuff in it. In fact I would be happy if I could strip
the libpthread dependency from the binaries, but I am not sure we have
tools to do that.
