-pthread is probably not needed, but I don't know. If you find
you need libSM and libICE, include them. To find out which
shared libraries a shared library uses, run ldd, like this:
netsys:~> ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x18090000)
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x180a2000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x180e4000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x180ed000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x18102000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x1810d000)
libc.so => /shlib/libc.so (0x181ab000)
Of course, this varioes between different operating systems.

This should not be critical, I think. What libraries have the
other duplicates?
In any case, your approach is the correct one. If it builds, it
should be useable.
