This appears to be a libtool bug:

Fedora has applied a workaround to their libmemcached package:

While I am trying to use memaslap, I got errors like:

/usr/bin/ld: clients/ms_thread.o: undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_key_delete@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:4454: recipe for target 'clients/memaslap' failed
make[1]: *** [clients/memaslap] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/admin/test/libmemcached-1.0.17'
Makefile:3481: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Presumably it is also because of this upstream bug. Is that right?
