Summary: wx-config gives erronous output

Initial Comment:
I have discovered that wx-config in linux gives a funny output which messes up my linking. The output is this: "~$ wx-config --libs
-pthread   -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.6 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.6 -lwx_baseu_net-2.6 -lwx_baseu-2.6"

The first library parameter should be: "-lpthread". If I manually paste the text above and change the first parameter accordingly, the build succeeds. I discovered this in Gentoo and thought it was a flaw in the ebuild there, but now that I tested Ubuntu I get the same thing. It is also the same for wx-widgets 2.4 and 2.6.

What exactly is funny about this? "-pthread" is a valid gcc option, what
compiler/architecture do you use that it doesn't work for you?

Finally, replacing -pthread with -lpthread is *not* a safe thing to do.
