Summary: configure --with-threads hangs on Mac OS

Initial Comment:
When I try to build clisp-2.49 with --with-threads=POSIX_THREADS, the build hangs, on both OS X 10.5 and 10.6.  The issue seems to be some of the clisp.m4 macros that run clisp into a pipe, e.g.

/tmp/clisp-2.49/src/clisp -K boot  -E UTF-8 -Epathname 1:1 -Emisc 1:1 | head -n 1

This works fine if building without threads, but hangs (hard) when threading is specified.

Message:
Can you check out the source tree and try it? This is supposed to be fixed
there and works for me on 10.6 and 10.7.

Message:
this is the standard request for more information.
1. what is your platform? 
   ("uname -a" on a Unix system)
   compiler version?  libc (on Linux)?
2. where did you get the sources?  when? 
   (absolute dates are prefered over the relative ones)
3. how did you build CLISP? (what command, options &c)
   please do a clean build (remove your build directory and
   build CLISP with "./configure --build build" or at least
   do a "make distclean" before "make")
4. if you are using pre-built binaries, the problem is likely
   to be in the incompatibilities between the platform on which
   the binary was built and yours;
   please try compiling the sources.
5. what is the output of (lisp-implementation-version)?
6. what is the value of *features*?
7. please supply the full output (copy and paste) 
   of all the error messages.
If you cannot build CLISP, you can obviously skip 5 and 6, 
but then you should provide more information in 1.
please see <http://clisp.cons.org/clisp.html#bugs> 
for more information.
Thanks.

PS. This bug report is now marked "pending" 
    and will auto-close unless you respond
    (in which case it will auto-re-open).
