Description of problem:
I noticed this problem when attempting to compile nmap 3.95, but it may be more indicative of a general problem with the gcc 4.0.2-8 rpms.  When I compile nmap, and it gets to the linking stage, I receive these error messages:

nmap.o(.rodata+0x16c): undefined reference to `__gthrw_pthread_cancel(unsigned long)'
...
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.0.2/../../../../include/c++/4.0.2/i386-redhat-linux/bits/gthr-default.h:488: undefined reference to `__gthrw_pthread_once(int*, void (*)())'

This problem was not there in gcc 4.0.0-8, and I've tracked it down to the referenced gthr-default.h file.  I'm not sure if those two referenced functions were defined in the older version, but in the older version's gthr-default.h, they were declared with
#pragma weak pthread_cancel
...
#pragma weak pthread_once

so that the linker would not complain if they weren't defined.  However in gcc 4.0.2-8, they are declared as follows:

# define __gthrw(name) \
  extern __typeof(name) __gthrw_ ## name __attribute__ ((__weakref__(#name)))
...
__gthrw(pthread_once);
...
__gthrw(pthread_cancel);

Compilation works fine when those declarations and the subsequent references are commented out of gthr-default.h.  Is this a bug that it is not finding the definitions of those functions?
