Can you try the latest version of `branch_release-1-8' from the Git
repository, or apply the attached patch (in both cases, you need
Autoconf 2.61 or later, Automake 1.10 or later, Libtool 1.5.x)?

The difference is that `configure.in' now uses
`AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS', which automatically adds the definition of
`_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS' to `config.h'.  This should address your
problem.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
