Comment 3 for bug 1379360

 -lcheck_pic

-pthread -pthread -lcheck_pic -lrt -lm

Running ./configure CFLAGS="-pthread -pthread -lcheck_pic -lrt -lm" seems to make at least some tests run. They are a lot less verbose than on Ubuntu 12.04, and I'm not entirely sure yet if the tests are actually run, or simply marked as passed.
