Summary: --with-threads fail for 2.1c2 on HPUX 11

Initial Comment:
 ./configure --with-thread --without-gcc

checking for --with-threads... yes
checking for mach/cthreads.h... no
checking for --with-pth... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no

test_thread
test test_thread crashed -- thread.error: can't start
new thread                
.

.

4 tests failed: test_asynchat test_fork1 test_thread
test_threadedtempfile

-- 

The cause here is that at link time -lpthread is not
included.  If I manually relink with -lpthread, then no
tests fail tests pass.
113 tests
OK.

Sorry, that patch no longer works.

Would you mind submitting a new patch that only does a
minimal change (rather than re-indenting a large block of
code)?

You can find a patch to fix this against python 2.1 at:
ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/outgoing/pub/python-2.1-416696.patch

You'll need to rerun autoconf to test.

This is a duplicate of bug #210665 (PR#360).

Assigned to Guido.  Harri, can you supply a patch?  You 
seem to know what you're doing on this box, and nobody else 
does:  every release *something* about threads is broken on 
HPUX, and no patch submitted to date has ever cured this.  
No active Python developer runs HPUX, and I think we've all 
given up trying to sort out the conflicting claims of HP-UX 
users.
