Great.

Which version of Pthreads does BSD/OS 3.1 support?    The fact that you
have a pthread_yield leads me to believe Draft 4.   How is the prototype
for pthread_create defined?

Depending on how pthread_create is defined, you may want to use
-DTHREAD_MIT_PTHREAD instead of -DPOSIX_THREADS.

My approach is to make it work and then minimize the changes (ie: only
make the necessary changes).
