Like sebest already mentioned, this is a problem with our pthread
autoconf script which was originally copied from the autoconf
archive. We had a few bug reports about this, but until now nobody
came up with a solution that works on all systems. Apparently libtool
and pthreads are not really compatible on all archietcures

Some examples for the numerous discussions about these problems:

I don't have a Mac machine, so I am unable to debug this any
further. Unless someone else comes up with a decent solution the
current situation is unlikely to change.

I am sorry,
