I should have been clearer. The library file is not available in the NDK, but the header is, and it seems that the android tools just know that pthread is available at runtime. So there is no need to specify -lpthread on the link line and doing so causes the error.

Also, we are only using the library, not the executable. I guess it's possible that libpthread.a or .so would be required for an executable build (although if our .so build succeeds without it then guess it isn't necessary), but I just need the library with --enable-threaded-resolver working.

** [bugs:#1216] configure failing to enable threaded resolver on android**
**Status:** open

Following the "Method using a configure cross-compile (tested with Android NDK r7c, r8)" build instructions, configure always outputs:
  resolver: default
because the check for pthread_create tries to use -lpthread on the link line, and arm-linux-androideabi-gcc is unable to find any pthread file.
Currently I'm working around this by patching the configure script because I don't know enough about automake to make the proper fix.
