My belief is that this was fixed by commit
d6818567553aafdbbbca327d4a1b1289a6816858:
Fix MinGW HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC build problem
Reported by Carlo Bramini. See the comment in _scm.h.
* THANKS: Add Carlo Bramini.
* libguile/_scm.h: Undefine HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC.
Can you explain why this isn't working for you?
Also, MinGW building of 1.8.x is successful for me; see the latest log
at http://www.ossau.uklinux.net/guile/snapshots.

threads.c includes config.h - which defines HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC -
then _scm.h - which undefines it - and then later pthread.h, so it
should be fine.
