Actually, failing at that point is quite common: it's the first time the
newly-built Guile is actually used.  It would be more appropriate to
start a new thread, but since we're here...

This is odd.  The configure script should detect the presence of
GC_pthread_sigmask, and only emit references to it if it is found.  Can
you grep your config.log for instances of "GC_pthread" ?  Also, can you
grep your libguile/scmconfig.h for "PTHREAD" ?

These are harmless, but thank you for being thorough in the report.

Can you submit a backtrace please?  You can do so by running
meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile --no-auto-compile, then "b scm_ithrow",
"run", and then "bt" when the breakpoint hits.

Thanks,

Andy
