Not sure what you are asking here.  I never cross-built Guile, I
always build the MinGW port natively.  And pthreads detection is not
broken, the build process correctly detects that I have pthreads
installed.  But if I want to produce a working Guile (or even get the
build to run to completion, since that involves running Guile to
compile Scheme files), I need to disable threads.
