It will if you tell it to use a threads library.

Find the LIBC variable in the Makefile, and add -lkse to it.

This was discussed in SF patch #745320 (now closed).

The building of threaded apps has changed on 5.x, and nobody has yet
contributed a patch to configure.in to cater for the difference between
5.x and 4.x.

Python's SF bug tracker is the best place for bug reports like this,
rather than private e-mail to developers.
