Thanks -- I've applied a variant of this.

I don't know much about this, but on a quick look around it seems that
this situation is a real mess.  I've changed configure.in to use the
ACX_PTHREAD macro (from the GNU Autoconf Macro Archive).  I see it prefers
-kthread on FreeBSD, and hope that's OK.  It is also ignorant of -lc_r.
In any case, you can override it by setting PTHREAD_LIBS or PTHREAD_CFLAGS
in the environment of configure.

I've updated the tarball.
