First of all, pthreads and sproc are incompatible. So linking with
libpthread precludes the use of sproc. There are some instances where
libpf uses sproc. Specifically, ASD paging (I think) and cliptexture
queue/sort threads. If you use either of these features then you cannot
use pthreads in your application.
