Re: [Gc] MinGW pthreads support

[Ivan Maidanski]

Hi Andy,

AICS, the patch does not force BDWGC to use pthreads-win32 (instead it uses native Win32 threads).
You should define GC_PTHREADS (not GC_THREADS) to force it to (if you really need pthreads on Win32). Otherwise THREADDLLIBS="-lpthread" should be removed.

I think we could just use (choosing Win32 threads for mingw):
     *-*-cygwin* | *-*-mingw*)

Regards.
