 {{{
 On FreeBSD (and maybe NetBSD as well), OpenAL needs -pthread in
 CFLAGS/LDFLAGS:

 configure:2352: gcc -o conftest  -I/usr/local/include   -L/usr/local/lib
 conftest.c -lopenal   >&5
 /usr/local/lib/libopenal.so: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
 /usr/local/lib/libopenal.so: undefined reference to `pthread_attr_init'
 /usr/local/lib/libopenal.so: undefined reference to `pthread_exit'

 This should best be solved during configure instead of setting this
 globally. Also, this probably needs to be propagated into OpenAL.
 cabal for linking a resulting application (although already the RTS
 should pull in -pthread).
