You can only mix DLL's that follow the same rules for:
Structure alignment
C runtime
Exception handling

And do not contain C++. 

Libpthread.a is a cygwin1.dll alias. This means that you are trying to
break the C++ rule, the C runtime rule, the exception handling rule and
the Structure alignment rule all at once.
