I had problems with the compilation process. To be more exact, I encountered the following error:

$ ./build light strip
mkdir -p tmp/liba tmp/bobcat/ tmp/libso

Creating shared library libbobcat.so
g++ --std=c++14 -O2 -Wall -fdiagnostics-color=never -isystem tmp -fPIC -lpthread -shared -Wl,--as-needed,-z,defs,-soname,libbobcat.so.4 -o tmp/libso/libbobcat.so.4.04.00 */os/*.o

After trying out some different things, I changed the -lpthread flag to -pthread. This works, at least on my architecture (Linux Mint 17.2, kernel: x86_64 Linux 3.16.0-38-generic). I expect this to work on other systems as well (But of course, please do test). See more information about the difference between the two flags here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23250863/difference-between-pthread-and-lpthread-while-compiling#23251828

I have tried building master using the build libraries strip command as well (selecting all options except 'milter'), which went fine using this change.

As discussed by mail, I'll check the results with LDFLAGS = "". (Again, building all except milter)

All right. With LDFLAGS = "" it also works fine.
