Is there a point to the version checking?  I don't know that anyone
has tried to build Git on QNX 4, so adding a case for it seems
misleading.

I didn't realize that QNX 6.3.2 provided getpagesize.  Its header
files don't provide a prototype, so when I saw the warning, I assumed
it wasn't available.  Since NO_GETPAGESIZE is only used by QNX, if
it's OK to reintroduce the warning, NO_GETPAGESIZE might as well be
removed entirely.

I don't think it's a good idea to just enable thread support.  On QNX,
once a process creates a thread, fork stops working.  This breaks
commands that create threads and then try to run other programs, such
as "git fetch" with an https remote.  If threads are enabled, I think
that the uses of fork need to be audited and, if they can be called
after a thread is created, fixed.
