Hm, something is not quite right with the libpthreadGC2 you have I
think. Maybe a pre- or self-compiled version of pthread will help, but i
can't really tell, I try to avoid compiling things on Windows (it works
well and easy once you have it set up, but for anything special the way
there can be long).
