Building agains dynamic libptread in Debian Stable

[Sam Hartman]

Hi.

krb5 tries fairly carefully to only link components that need pthread
against the pthread library and to use weak symbol references to use
pthread operations when available.  It also generally deals with the
case where some plugin adds pthreads to the running process, although in
that case it expects that it will be called only from one thread.

My first question would be what trouble are running into using mech_eap
in a process linked without -pthread?
