I don't get this problem, although I do get a  link error since libxml2 
isn't added to the link line (I fixed this). I use libxml2 from fink 
(version 2.5.4), but I think you are using something different?

This doesn't happen for me either, as long as I do

make base=no add=yes

thr-pthread is for the gnu runtime on darwin. Perhaps we should just 
put this function in GSCategoies for MacOSX to use? Or is there (or 
should we add) an NSThread method that would work better?

I don't know. I think we could change and or add some makefile stuff to 
make it into a framework.
