[bug #13413] pthread link failure on freebsd 5.3

[David Ayers]

Update of bug #13413 (project gnustep):

                Category:               Makefiles => Base/Foundation

Follow-up Comment #14:

Yes indeed that seems to work now.  But a note on the side:

A quick search through the gcc manaul reveals that the -pthread option is only
documented for RS/6000 and PowerPC (and -pthreads for SPARC)

`-pthread'
     Adds support for multithreading with the "pthreads" library.  This
     option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.

I'm currently assuming this is a mere convenience flag.  Not sure why it works
on i386-unknown-freebsd5.3 but we may just be getting lucky (or gcc's docs are
outdated).  Does anyone know if using this flag instead of the normal
machinery actually has merits?
