Further loader/pthread.c issues

[Gerald Pfeifer]

Alexandre,

I noticed that you disabled using pthreads on non-Linux platforms by
means of the following patch:

  revision 1.12 of loader/Makefile.in
  date: 2003/11/11 00:48:21;  author: julliard;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -11
  Only build both Wine binaries on Linux, pthread support doesn't work
  on other platforms.

Would you mind reverting this, at least for FreeBSD?  FreeBSD does have
POSIX threads, in -STABLE and especially improved in -CURRENT (which will
soon become the stream for regular releases.

Plus, the following really looks like a problem to me (for portability
on Linux as well).  If you want to keep it like that nevertheless, I
volunteer to submit a small and clean patch to provide the workaround on
FreeBSD once you re-enabled POSIX threads there.

Thanks for your considerations; your support for portability and non-Linux
platforms is really appreciated!
