Either the linker doesn't find it, or it's not there. On my linux box, 
there's a /lib/libpthread.so.0 -> /lib/libpthread-0.10.so, which is 
easily found by ld. You can check if a /lib/libpthread.so.? is installed 
on your system, or check ldconfig, e. g.

ldconfig -v | grep libpthread

Or you can add linker options to ld using fpc's "-k" option, e. g. 
"-k-v" for ld's -v option.

hth,

Anton.
