Thanks, can you look at the generated 'configure' and see why that is?
It should contain something like this:

  if test $ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull = yes; then :
    $as_echo "#define HAVE_REALLOC_GNU 1" >>confdefs.h
  else
    $as_echo "#define HAVE_REALLOC_GNU 0" >>confdefs.h
    REPLACE_REALLOC=1
  fi
  if test $REPLACE_REALLOC = 1; then
    gl_LIBOBJS="$gl_LIBOBJS realloc.$ac_objext"
  fi

You're reporting that HAVE_REALLOC_GNU=0, which means REPLACE_REALLOC
should be 1 and gl_LIBOBJS should contain realloc.o; evidently
this is not taking place.  Perhaps you can put some 'echo' statements
into 'configure' to see what's going wrong.

Wouldn't -lpthread work as well?  pthreadlib.m4 says it would.
I pushed this patch to try to fix that:
