That unfortunately doesn't help.

While diffing through configure.in between p287 and p383, I noticed
this:

+AC_CHECK_LIB(rt, clock_gettime)	# GNU/Linux

Ruby now links against librt, as introduced for a new implementation of
timeofday() proposed on ruby-core [1]. And librt again, *surprise*,
links against libpthread.

Afaik the link dependencies are flattened, and so that should be
where the libpthread link comes from.
