Dont do that :) Just do a 'make distclean' (possibly backupping your
Modules/Setup file first, if you dont want to edit it again) and do
./configure without *any* thread related options (you can use --prefix= and
such, of course.)

The latter, complaints about the thread functions, is probably because you
changed the WITH_THREAD option in the Makefile without editing the
Modules/Setup.thread file. If you disable threading by hand, be sure to
comment the line about the thread module, in that file. (It's the only
uncommented line there ;)

Make distclean && ./configure should do the trick, though.
