It turns out that glthread_create [sic] returns 38 (== ENOSYS).

pthread_in_use () is *false*.  (Why??)

These are all the tests that contain 'pthread' in the output
of the configure script:

checking pthread.h usability... yes
checking pthread.h presence... yes
checking for pthread.h... yes
checking for pthread_kill in -lpthread... yes
checking for pthread_rwlock_t... yes
checking whether pthread_sigmask is declared without a macro... yes
checking for pthread_atfork... yes

I'm guessing this is a gnulib build system problem somewhere, although
I have no idea where to start.  This all works fine on Fedora and
older Ubuntu releases.
