pthread: work around winpthread header pollution on mingw Dan Berrange reported compilation failure of libvirt on Fedora 20 when cross-compiling to mingw; the problem was traced to bogus macros in the winpthreads <pthread.h> header shipped as part of mingw-headers 3.0. CC util/libvirt_util_la-virerror.lo In file included from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sys/time.h:10:0, from ../gnulib/lib/sys/time.h:39, from ../gnulib/lib/sys/select.h:117, from util/virutil.h:31, from util/virerror.c:35: ../gnulib/lib/time.h:468:21: error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token _GL_FUNCDECL_SYS (localtime_r, struct tm *, (time_t const *restrict __timer, ^ Gnulib's time.h was already working around the pthread.h pollution, but now that newer mingw has started providing struct timespec, the workaround was no longer being hit. Moving the pollution workaround to the wrapper around the broken header solves the problem. * lib/time.in.h: Move pthread workarounds... * lib/pthread.in.h: ...here. * m4/pthread.m4 (gl_PTHREAD_CHECK): Also build pthread.h when we detect macro pollution on mingw. * doc/posix-headers/pthread.texi (pthread.h): Document the problems.
