Amazingly enough (for non-programmers), almost all of these error messages may
be the result of a single missing character! the hint comes from the first
bunch of error messages 

[... snip...]

Look at the file thread_pthread.h, line number 113. There will probably be a
closing brave on that line that ends a structure or a union. There will *not*
be a semicolon after that brace. That is why you are getting the error
messages. Insert a semicolon immediately after the brace and recompile.
Everything should go a lot better.

If you still have problems, email me the section of thread_pthread.h that
comes just before line 113 (say, the last 20 lines, or so). No need to send it
to the list.
