Thank you very much, that's it.

I'm wondering why this is possible at all, though.

If I specify the libraries in the wrong order, then some stub or
replacement functions from glibc are used instead the ones I want from
libpthread, right?

But I need to specify -lpthread, otherwise the linking fails and I won't
get an application at all.

The resulting application is completely unusable, so I really wonder
what the rationale behind this is. Probably this is "like it is" due to
historic reasons... 8-(
