/configure on OSF1 alpha finds no suitable threading library.

config.log says:
  configure:19993: checking pthread.h usability
  configure:20005: cc -c -g -I/local/include -I/local/gnu/include conftest.c
>&5
  cc: Error: /usr/include/pthread.h, line 1251: #error "Please compile the
module including pthread.h with -pthread" (errormessage)

due to this snippet of pthread.h:
# ifndef _REENTRANT
#  error "Please compile the module including pthread.h with -pthread"
# endif

./configure CC="cc -pthread" works.

Not sure how to deal with that one.  Seems a bit excessive to run all
the OL_PTHREAD_TRY()s _before_ detecting that the system has pthread.
Maybe write a special case, like try for pthread.h with -D_REENTRANT
if not found without that?
