It is building with thread.c but it should not be unless I am misreading 
the Makefile. The makefile processing in Project.pm doesn't look nearly 
powerful enough to handle this:

  # thread.c is needed only for non-WIN32 implementation of path.c
  ifneq ($(PORTNAME), win32)
  OBJS += thread.o
  endif

It will ignore the if and endif lines and process the OBJS line :-(

A quick fix is probably to put some whitespace in front of "OBJS", 
although that seems horribly fragile.
