linking problems with boehm GC4.14

[Dana S. Wheeler]

I downloaded sather 1.2.1 from a GNU mirror along with the Boehm GC
4.14. After adding the defines suggested in the README.linux file I ran
into a problem of not being able to link the test program gctest. I've
attached a record of the significant steps I've taken in the attempt to
build the gc. Since nm shows the symbol in question defined both in
/usr/lib/libpthread.a and /usr/lib/libpthread.so (and I've tried linking
with both by hand without success) I don't know where to go. I keep
getting "undefined reference to __pthread_initial_thread_bos" even
though nm shows it to be defined in the above libraries. I am using
RH6.0 with egcs-2.91.66 and ld version 2.9.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
