I can confirm that libpthread.so (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so)
is a linker script on my Ubuntu 11.04 install. This hasn't ever caused me
any problems, though.
As for why distributions do this, here are the contents of the script:

I don't know why, but some Linux distributions place scripts into .so

of GNU ld that it will process the script (which points to the actual
binary) when it links the .so file.

binaries. I patched the GHC runtime system to deal with these scripts.
I noticed that t
