Hmm, I don't know how I messed this up, but as it happens, the above 
produced the same results.

This worked for me. It looks like the thread library built OK 
although there were 20 or so warnings. The static regex libraries 
were built as well, but the shared libraries failed to build (OS X's 
shared library support is a bit unusual I think). The python 
libraries failed to build because I installed Python with Fink which 
puts stuff in /sw instead of /usr. But the thread library is all I'm 
really interested in right now so I can start wrestling with the GNU 
auto* tools again. :-)

Thanks for your help.
