What do you define as an out of the box install? MDK has many options. and
you need to select the appropriate libraries from teh development section.

Now for more useless information :-} 
/lib/libpthread.* and /lib/librt.* is in the glibc.rpm which will always be
installed. For development you need to install the glibc-devel.rpm which
will supply /usr/lib/libpthread* and /usr/lib/librt.*. This is more for
consistency than anything else. /usr/lib/libpthread.so is simply a symlink
to the one in /lib, and /usr/lib/librt.so is simply a linker stub which
forces /lib/libpthread to be linked before /lib/librt.so.
