 Further update (20070323):
 
 I was hoping the pthreads changes in recent current would help, but
 they don't really. PTHREAD_STACKSIZE is no longer needed, but I still
 get this:

 This is with wine 0.9.33 on today's current (20070323) -- note that
 current of 20070318 fails miserably.

 With that, I can run the compiler, but the compiler driver goes into a
 loop calling sched_yield when it tries to find and invoke its linker.
 (Is this symptomatic of a deadlock inside libpthread?)
