Forte's man page says: -mt Passes -D_REENTRANT to preprocessor. Appends -lthread after all other user-specified libraries on the command line. You could substitute these into your makefile yourself - but if you ran configure to generate it yourself then you might want to investigate that in case it happens again. Rup.
