Not clear to me either, but if you create a simple file, say test.c

int main()
{
  return 0;
}

and compile with gcc test.c -pthread -static
it fails as follows with gcc v5 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

but compiles OK with earlier versions of gcc.

It only fails with gcc v5, so if it's not broken, don't fix it...
