But there is a /usr/include/pthread.h file, so I think, it's fair to
assume, that there is a threading system around. We should find a way to
find it rather, there might be some tricks with renamed symbols that are
defined to right ones in pthread.h. We therefore need information, how a
threaded program is compiled on such systems. But of course there should
be a tip in the error to reconfigure with the '--disable-thread' option.
I'll do that.

Bye,
Sebastian
