That's odd, because adding "gl_use_threads_default=no" should cause "configure" to default to --disable-threads behavior. What is the difference between the outputs of "./configure --disable-threads" and of "./configure --enable-threads=posix"? The former should behave as if the patch were installed, and the latter as if it were not installed. Assuming you have the gnulib patch that I just pushed, you should see minor changes in the output of "configure", as follows, where the "+" lines are with the patch (or with --enable-threads=posix) and the "-" lines are without the patch (or with --disable-threads). @@ -333,7 +333,10 @@ checking whether getc_unlocked is declar checking whether we are using the GNU C Library 2.1 or newer... yes checking for wchar_t... yes checking whether NULL can be used in arbitrary expressions... yes -checking for multithread API to use... none +checking whether imported symbols can be declared weak... yes +checking for pthread.h...
