To get it to compile with the "--with-threads" flag, I had to make
a small change to 'configure':

	doctorno:18% diff -C 3 configure configure.orig 
	*** configure   Thu Aug 28 00:08:09 2003
	--- configure.orig      Thu Aug 28 00:08:06 2003
	***************
	*** 17642,17648 ****
	  cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
	  /* end confdefs.h.  */
	  
	! #include <sys/time.h>
	  int
	  main ()
	  {
	--- 17642,17648 ----
	  cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
	  /* end confdefs.h.  */
	  
	! #include <time.h>
	  int
	  main ()
	  {

Otherwise, the build craps out because of a re-definition of 'timespec'.

Without "--with-threads", no modifications needed.
