Created attachment 219592 [details] [review]
Proposed fix

The runtests program currently fails with

    Specific platform thread support not detected

on HP-UX, AIX and other Unix systems which do not match the conditional

    #if defined(linux) || defined(__sun) || defined(__APPLE_CC__)

It is silly to try to enumerate all systems which use pthreads in a conditional like this. I am attaching a patch (against git master) that rewrites the cpp conditional structure so that pthreads is used if HAVE_PTHREAD_H is defined, and moves that section of code down below the Win32 and BeOS cases so that native thread libraries are used preferentially in those two cases.
