hello Werner,

thank you for your answer! adding LIBS="-ldl -lsocket -lnsl" to 
configure as you suggested fixed the problem and libassuan is now 
successfully  build with pth support.
i had a similar problem with gnupg 2.0 - adding LIBS="-ldl -lsocket 
-lnsl" to configure does not work as with libassuan, so i had to change 
the configure script itself:

6290c6290
<          LIBS="$LIBS `$PTH_CONFIG --libs`"
---
 >          LIBS="$LIBS `$PTH_CONFIG --libs --all`"

now "configure" finishes successfully but when i use "make" i get the 
following error:

gcc -I/usr/local/include  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign   -o gpg2  gpg.o
