Please keep in mind that Wine should build as is (in CVS) without any
FreeBSD-specific changes.

I have been investing a lot of time and effort to reach that state and
would like to keep it that way (and Alexandre agrees with that, as far
as I know).

As far as I can see, the ideal approach might be:

 o Check whether -lphtread exits/works and use it only, if it does.
 o Check whether -lc_r exists/works, and if it does, use that instead
   of -lc.

These two are independent, and should work in general, that is, portably.
