This gets repeated several times:

GCC is configured like this:

gcc version 3.4.4 20050401 (prerelease)

I have the option of trying GCC 4.0 and 4.1, but GCC 3.3 failed to 
compile with Posix threads turned on.

I tried using the configure script and then running make to execute the 
makefile - shouldn't the configure script have detected threading 
availability in the compiler?

Thanks
