No, it's working as documented. You just have an unusual situation with 
pthread_create. Again, please see Gnulib's treatment of pthread_create.

Since we're talking about Tru64, this is of academic interest anyway. HP 
stopped supporting Tru64 in 2012, which means curl doesn't need to 
support it either. You can port curl to your museum-piece Tru64 by hand, 
by configuring with the appropriate arguments to override the 
otherwise-incorrect conclusions of 'configure'. For example, 
'./configure ac_cv_func_pthread_create=yes' (I haven't tested this and 
you may need to change the argument a bit).
