I should have read more carefully.  Although not stated in the message, 
I assume That newlib is being used as that was stated in a post to gcc@. 
 So I doubt it would work with --enable-threads=posix.

I guess I would just confirm that I think using no-threads.h may be the 
proper thing to do.  But as stated several times in the thread, it has 
bit rotted some and needs fixing.  I cannot approve it, but generally 
patches to fix lesser used configurations are approved if they look sane.
