Linux ia64. RedHat-7.2, RHAS-2.1, Debian Sarge
>Description:
gcc's documented "-pthread" option does not set the -D_REENTRANT pre-processor flag.

the link flag -lpthread is correctly set.

"-pthread" is supposed to be a front-end to any needed options / libraries needed in order to build a multi-thread program.  This includes pre-processing, compilation & link.

1. get the attached program pthbug.c
2. compile it with gcc3 -v -pthread -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes pthbug.c
3. note that -D_REENTRANT is not defined
