The cmake error log is misleading and I was misled by it before. CMake will try multiple linking flags to test the available of pthread library, including -lpthread, -lpthreads, and -pthread. So, there will always be errors messages about pthread.
Unfortunately, the real reason that causes the cmake failure sometimes only is shown on the terminal.
