The attached patch fixes FTBFS on GNU/k*BSD. The problem happens on GNU/k*BSD
because GNU/k*BSD uses gnu pth to provide pthreads, but will also happen on any
system that does the same.
python fails to build because it doesn't detect gnu pth in pthread
emulation. See C comments in patch for details.
