pthreads in configure

[David Collier-Brown]

  Solaris uses one of the related flags (-mt, I think) to tell
the compiler that it needs to use the thread-compatible errno
code.
  If you take it out, functions return -1, but errno is left zero
when returning from MT libraries, which May Be Bad (and is 
bad in one known example).
