For what it's worth, this seems to be pertinent part of config.log:

[...]
configure:16424: checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads
configure:16462: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:16468: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

[...]


...although the thing is so long that it's hard to tell.

I couldn't find a pthreads library/package/thing anywhere, or at least not 
yet.  My system *does* have a /usr/lib/libpthread.so (singular), but no 
libpthreads (plural).  Installing linuxpthreads-devel didn't solve anything.

Any thoughts?
