I find this "unhelpful" when trying to place a measurement thread on an isolated cpu.

There's an alternative solution that I was working on some time ago,
which is having a simple configure script. This is usually done
by simple projects that don't need a full blown autoconf machinery.

The patch below adds such a script. It detects librt, libpthread and
libnuma. It solves the problem you mention and it removes hardcoded
lib details from the Makefile.

If there's interest for this solution I can finish it and post for
inclusion.
