Comment:

 The `unix` package has a check for whether `sem_close` requires `pthread`
 or not in its `configure.ac`:
 {{{
 AC_SEARCH_LIBS(sem_close, pthread,
     [EXTRA_LIBS="$EXTRA_LIBS $ac_lib"],
     [AC_MSG_NOTICE([Not found])])
 }}}

 I suspect that you are using a binary that was built on another machine
 which didn't require pthread, so I'll close this ticket. Please re-open if
 you still think there's a bug, though.
