hmm... this might actually be because of some broken pthread detection on that
debian machine, we end up with PTHREAD_LIBS=''

...
checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... yes
checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... no
checking whether to check for GCC pthread/shared inconsistencies... yes
checking whether -pthread is sufficient with -shared... yes
checking for unistd.h... (cached) yes
checking sys/time.h usability... yes
checking sys/time.h presence... yes
checking for sys/time.h... yes
checking for stdint types... stdint.h (shortcircuit)
make use of stdint.h in _stdint.h (assuming C99 compatible system)
checking pthread.h usability... yes
checking pthread.h presence... yes
checking for pthread.h... yes
...

Would this maybe be because the check for -lpthread requirement is done on the
C compiler and not the C++ compiler ?
