ahh i see, thanks for the detailed information.

.. but. i detected that some cvs modules fail linking because of missing
stuff. this don't happen if i pass -lpthreads to it everything compiles
fine. with -pthreads i get missing stuff like this in Orbit2 (this one
got fixed) and now in libbonobo/test/

libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_key_create'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_attr_setstacksize'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_trylock'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_join'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_cond_timedwait'
libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific'

so i assume that these modules in cvs needs some fixes right ? to accept
-pthread by adding some environment variables - instead -lpthread.
