That's a known problem, and there's nothing we can do now.

None. No.

The pthread.h that comes with glibc 2/2.1 doesn't defined
_POSIX_THREADS  but the pthread.h from libc5 does.  You've managed to
put a libc5 pthread.h in /usr/include.  Please reinstall to
/usr/include the glibc 2.1 header files.

Mixing libc5 and glibc2 headers can lead to all sort of interesting behaviour.
