 On OpenBSD and NetBSD, we were accidentally passing ``-optl-pthread`` to
 the gcc to build dynamic libraries because of a bitrotted hack for those
 OSes, which resulted in a weird situation where every dynamic library is
 named "ptl-pthread" and placed at ``$(TOP)``.

 The hack in question were to work around a linkage problem with libHSffi,
 but we no longer build it and just use libffi these days so the hack can
 safely be removed.
