Version 0.20.2 should detect automatically if linking fails with
thread local support. If you can find out why this clause:

    AC_MSG_CHECKING(for __thread)
    AC_LINK_IFELSE([
    #if defined(__MINGW32__) && !(__GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 5))
        #error This MinGW version has broken __thread support
    #endif
    ....

from configure.ac finishes successfully, that would be very helpful.

As mentioned, you can compile with -DPIXMAN_NO_TLS, but that means
pixman can't be used from multiple threads.

If __thread simply doesn't work on your platform, we need some kind of
hack in configure.ac to detect it and fall back to pthreads.
