The only application which should be linked against
pthread is artsd itsself.
There is no need to link :

  * libmcop_nothreads
  * libartsflow_idl_nothreads
  * libkmedia2_idl_nothreads
  * libsoundserver_idl_nothreads

These libs against pthread too.
If I look at the artsd Makefile am. I dont see where it is linked
against pthread.
One important point is that pthread is the _last_ lib in the linking
order.

Example 

 -lmcop -lpthread -lartsflow

may cause problems,but: 

 -lmcop -lartsflow -lpthread

is ok.
(The dynamic linker loads libraries in the reversed linking order)
In this case: pthread first.
There is not need to link other libs against pthread.
