That sounds like a bug in Wine. My understanding is that when using
kthreads, we emulate pthreads - hence Wine must NOT be linked against
the system pthreads lib.

Yes, I don't think that will work.

The main wine binary should now detect which version (kthread or
pthread) you need, and select it for you at runtime. You need latest CVS
for that though. If you think it's choosing the wrong one, then that
also is a bug, but you should not need to override its choice.
