Subject: GCC 4.4.0, mips-sgi-irix6.5 and pthread

I would greatly appreciate if anyone working with gcc 4.4.0 on mips-sgi-irix6.5 and pthreads would contact me ASAP (deadlines, deadlines, deadlilnes). I am having issues with pthread initialization (just including -lpthread in a simple program that does not use them).

I have tried both binutils ld v2.19 and the native loader /usr/bin/ld v7.41. Neither work.

Thanks in advance,
