Some of the recent libtirpc build failures are also caused by this.

Looking at the source, it seems that's a bug the AC_CHECK_LIB call that does not
do anything when pthead is not found; though it unconditionally
include pthread.h
in many source files, and does not use at all the HAVE_LIBPTHREAD symbol.
