AFAIK we didn't add any explicit dependency on pthread, so I suspect
that it was introduced by the change in our Gnulib usage or your cross
compilation environment.

Are you able to reproduce this when you recompile 0.18?

I think this is intended.  The above two DLLs are for internal use only
and the ABI changes often, so it makes sense to bump the library version
on every release.  On the other hand, libgettextpo is a public library
and the ABI is stable.
