No, this change is wrong.

I think your system is out of date... you perhaps updated your base system but not your X, or vise versa.

The pthread symbols are weak and properly resolve to nothing if the application does not use pthreads. The use of threads in those libraries is "defensive", in case the application uses them.

Please back this change out and fix the brokenness on your particular system.
