How to circumvent MinGW's broken pthread_cond_broadcast()

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi,

pthread_cond_broadcast() on MinGW is broken in such that it sometimes doesn't 
wake up all threads. This leads currently to easily reproducible 'hangs' in 
the MinGW64 test suite of Wget2.

The good thing: It made me switch to glthreads today, which immediately worked 
on my Debian box with a native build. Thanks for glthreads !

But the hangs still occur for my MinGW64 build - looking at it... yes, it uses 
pthreads. So no surprise here.

My question: How can I force the MinGW build to ignore pthreads and use the 
native Win32 API ? (I am using gnulib's bootstrap script + ./configure, make, 
make check.)

With Best Regards, Tim
