I think it was Phil talking to the guy who used the word "idiot". :)

Thank you for trying to help. I guess I'm stuck with waiting for 
Gianluigi to put out an updated build. I'm not getting anywhere with 
this, and I have enough time-vampires in my life without inviting new 
ones in. :) One thing I will note in passing is that he had a bunch of 
.diff files on his page, but I have no idea of their importance, or even 
how to use them. One of them is called xx_pthread_static.diff. Maybe a 
clue for someone smarter than I.
