No, they should be independent, I think.  I believe that the rationale for
4982 is still correct; if you use pthread functions, you need to
explicitly link against the library to avoid getting unversioned
references.  Unversioned references will *normally* not cause a problem,
so they're a bit of a time bomb.  They keep working fine right up until
the library makes an incompatible change in the data structures, and then
they break.
