'make regtest' on trunk currently fails on Ubuntu 16.04/s390x.

gcc -Winline -Wall -Wshadow -Wno-long-long -g -fno-stack-protector   -m64   -lpthread  -o ex_clone ex_clone.o  
ex_clone.o: In function `main':
/home/ubuntu/valgrind/none/tests/s390x/ex_clone.c:42: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
/home/ubuntu/valgrind/none/tests/s390x/ex_clone.c:57: undefined reference to `pthread_join'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:1324: recipe for target 'ex_clone' failed



Reproducible: Always

1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 on an s390x system

Actual Results:  
gcc -Winline -Wall -Wshadow -Wno-long-long -g -fno-stack-protector   -m64   -lpthread  -o ex_clone ex_clone.o

Comment 2 Christian Borntraeger 2016-09-20 12:21:59 UTC

I can certaiinly apply this patch, but I am puzzled. 

why does

gcc  -Winline -Wall -Wshadow -Wno-long-long -g -fno-stack-protector   -m64   -o ex_clone none/tests/s390x/ex_clone.o -lpthread 

work
and
gcc  -Winline -Wall -Wshadow -Wno-long-long -g -fno-stack-protector   -m64   -lpthread -o ex_clone none/tests/s390x/ex_clone.o
does not?

OK, seems that library ordering does indeed matter.
