This may be correct for Debian, but looks dubious as a
general patch.
On other systems that have a thread compiler switch it may
be wrong to
link the thread library "by hand" and omit the
compiler switch,
otherwise what's the compiler switch for?

Their comments seem to indicate libtool is a better place to
fix it.
An OpenLDAP patch would likely need some 'if <debian>'
code.

(Note, I do not know Debian, nor specifics about differing
Linux
variants.)
