Libevent使用Openwrt Toolchain编译结果缺少libevent_pthreads.so
经查，原因是libevent在configure时找不到pthread库，而在OpenWRT的SDK下编译是可以找到的，使用-pthread参数。
$./configure -host=mipsel-openwrt-linux |grep pthread

config.status: creating libevent_pthreads.pc
原因如下：
$cat config.log

添加-ldl标志就可以了，如下
$CFLAGS=-ldl ./configure -host=mipsel-openwrt-linux |grep pthread
configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet

config.status: creating libevent_pthreads.pc
现在make就可以编译出libevent_pthreads库了
后记：
因一个应用需要libevent_pthreads.so，而PandoraBox的下载站点上没有找到，而只有libevent.so。于是使用PandoraBox提供的toolchain对libevent的源码进行编译，然后发现也没有libevent_pthreads.so，原因就是上面说的。
