I wouldn't expect it to.  Try LIBS="-lpthreads" instead.

As far as fixing whatever might be the problem with auto-detection,
additional information is needed to determine exactly why a test
which produced an unexpected result.  Please provide the
fragment of config.log pertaining to the first specific test
returning an unexpected result.

You should provide more details regarding your platform.
Operating system version, compiler tool chain version, etc..
