[Mageia-dev] is this an underlinking issue?

I tested out a few games, and quite a few seem to fail:
 - fish fillets: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1070
 - torcs
 - quake2
 - lightsoff

i tried to get to the bottom of fish fillets game... however

running gdb soundwrapper /usr/games/fillets gives that it can't find the new 
threads. after reading up on that, it seems it's this: 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/gdb-cannot-find-new-
threads-generic-error-565411/

in that there there is a link to 
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/development/programming-scripting/412939-
gdb-unable-debug-application.html

which has a  workaround... but it seems at that point i have some warnings 
with not getting debug symbols, etc...


does this mean that we should link (in this case fish fillets) with -pthread ?
