That's odd, because adding "gl_use_threads_default=no" should cause
"configure" to default to --disable-threads behavior.

What is the difference between the outputs of
"./configure --disable-threads" and of
"./configure --enable-threads=posix"?
The former should behave as if the patch were installed,
and the latter as if it were not installed.

Assuming you have the gnulib patch that I just pushed,
you should see minor changes in the output of "configure",
as follows, where the "+" lines are with the patch
(or with --enable-threads=posix) and the "-" lines are
without the patch (or with --disable-threads).
