I confess I don't know enough about the relevant details to know whether
this would work reliably -- e.g. will -pthread always be passed to gcc
at link time whenever this problem would arise? -- but it certainly
looks like a cleaner solution in principle.

I'm glad to defer to your judgement on how best to fix this :)
