Yes, but different compilers do have the potential for taking
different command line arguments to specify where those libraries are
found, and etc.

I also asked because the error message you included in your first
email wasn't familiar to me.  I suppose the 'functions not found'
message was actually generated from the configure shell script.  There
should be a file 'config.log' which actually includes the detritus
from the builds performed by the configure script as it attempts to
verify the environment.

You may find a more informative message in that file, describing what
function or functions could not be found at the link stage.

You'd be modifying the configure.in file, to specify new paths or new
library names that should be searched for, and used in the configure
tests.

At least, that's my best guess.  Knowing what that config.log file
said would be very helpful.

Are there any libraries in your system's standard library paths that
reference the word 'thread' in any form?  libpthreads,
libposixthreads, etc.?
