OK.  So you're not running -current.  What you want, then, is to have a
pkgsrc pthread package installed.  I think the generally preferred one
is pth--the current version of which in pkgsrc appears to be 1.4.1nb7.

Instead of compiling gnustep-objc by hand, though, have you considered
updating the pkgsrc package?  pkgsrc will do some of the dependency
handling for you, including getting the pthread package installed.

If you get the updated package(s) to work, you can submit them as
change-request PRs and help out those others who are interested in
having updated packages.

That's certainly a problem.  What it probably means is that not all of the
required types are defined in your header files.
