But, all they need are ${PTHREAD_LIBS} and it will working w/out enable
thread. The ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 aren't alone, it also for ruby-opengl,
ruby-sdl, ruby-wx and etc.

No thanks, we used to have ruby18 and ruby18_r, and it was messy and
headache. I am the one that suggested to remove and everything was solved
by using ${PTHREAD_LIBS} with disable pthread. I would like to see we go
back to same way what lofi and I did with ruby before.

Hopeful either Ruby 1.9 or Ruby 2 will solving all of issues with new
thread stuff.
