Sorry, the patch works when crosscompiling for windows from Linux and for 
native building on Windows.

Please find a modified patch attached which sets <threadapi>win32 only when 
targeting windows.

Caveats (also old patch):

- the remaining rules report "pthread" when "win32" is selected. This is 
hidden deep in the project setup I think.
- Selecting "pthread" when crosscompiling does not work. Currently no idea how 
to fix this.

Yours,

Jürgen
