OK.  (The mklibs problem is specific to linuxthreads without TLS and the 
peculiarity of how it's linked in glibc, but the inability to use a 
partial libpthread and have it work correctly applies generally to NPTL 
and is why static linking with libpthread is a bad idea, so not installing 
libpthread_pic.a seems sensible.)
