FYI, AFAIS there are really only two such target headers being checked
incorrectly: have_pthread_h and have_thread_h. My proposed solution
should cover both although I only showed the change as it affects
have_pthread_h. How about this instead:
if [test x$host != x$target]; then
if [test x$with_headers = x]; then
have_thread_h=
have_pthread_h=
else
# set have_*thread_h with a test based on value of with_headers
fi
else
AC_CHECK_HEADER(thread.h, [have_thread_h=yes], [have_thread_h=])
AC_CHECK_HEADER(pthread.h, [have_pthread_h=yes], [have_pthread_h=])
fi

If an autoconf guru for gcc agrees with my analysis, then we could
submit a formal patch. However, I still don't know what actual code
should go in the shell comment above without more investigation.
