I looked through the configure script. It appears that realloc.o is
added to gl_LIBOBJS if a non-POSIX realloc() is found. However, if
realloc() is non-GNU, realloc.o is added to gltests_LIBOBJS, not
gl_LIBOBJS.
$ grep realloc configure.out
checking whether malloc, realloc, calloc are POSIX compliant... yes
checking for GNU libc compatible realloc... no
$ fgrep realloc.o gllib/Makefile
gltests_LIBOBJS = putenv.o realloc.o usleep.o

To a degree, yes, but there's also some preprocessor symbols that should
be defined. From the cc(1) man page:
-mt Sets various -D flags to enable multi-threading and
also sets -lpthread. For details see HP C Online Help.

That did address the link error, but -mt would be the better way.
