I wonder if we should plug this in into the WITH/WITHOUT_* framework
of HEAD instead of adding new NO_* variables?

It's DEFAULT_THREAD_LIB= according to your patch.

confusion because that would actually be libthr? Shouldn't we
rename that to libkse for the selection too and leave libpthread
unused as a generic term?
