The ./configure of avahi explicitly checks that it can link dynamically
with pthreads.

I'm not sure why they decided to do that, but since that's what the
configure does, and does it on purpose, I haven't even tried to see if
it was really needed. But if upstream decided (for whatever reasons)
that they want to explicitly check for that, I don't think we should try
to revert this check.
