v1.6.11 failed to build with undefined reference to `pthread_setname_np'

[fmvin]

Looks like closing the issue #1777 by commit bd27935 mosquitto_loop_start() now sets a thread name breaks down a building of v1.6.11 on my target platform.

cc -L../lib pub_client.o pub_shared.o client_shared.o client_props.o -o mosquitto_pub ../lib/libmosquitto.so.1
../lib/libmosquitto.so.1: undefined reference to `pthread_setname_np'

Target platform:
Old fashioned RedHat

2.6.32-642.15.1.el6.i686 #0 SMP Thu Sep 1 00:00:40 MSK 2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
ldd (GNU libc) 2.5

Build command:

make WITH_SRV=no WITH_UUID=no WITH_TLS=no WITH_DOCS=no

v1.6.10 builds OK.

pthread_setname_np() was first introduced in glibc 2.12. I believe RHEL 6 includes glibc 2.12, so it should be just fine. Does that match what you have?

Unfortunately, we use a much older distro than RHEL 6. For our distro we cannot upgrade kernel (2.6.32) or glibc (2.5). Please consider to add some conditional compilation or something else that excludes a dependence of pthread_setname_np().
