That's odd, it basically can't compile <pthread.h> for some reason.

The current CVS might sidestep the problem with shared_ptr, because it looks 
like you are on a PowerPC, and shared_ptr now has a g++/PPC specific version 
that doesn't need locks. But anything else that depends on <pthread.h> will 
still fail.
