One gotcha that got me is with the package system install of pth. the pthread  emulation mode is turned on with the "--enable-pthread" agument, however the "--enable-syscall-soft" was not used. This meant that after compiling a module that used pthreads a select call put the whole task to sleep rather than just the thread. I suspect this is a bug in that the 2 arguemnts should go together.
