We'll have to. We'll be using Debian 6.0 on the gerrit/Jenkins server, 
and I just checked that compiling from git produces the same error.

But now I'm puzzled. Git blame doesn't show anything that should affect 
pthread compilation in thread_posix.c since last year, and at least from 
Jenkins, the compilation on Debian used to run fine [1]. Jenkins uses 
the libusbx-test branch though, which is a fork of libusbx that we had 
in April. I just checked that this branch still compiles OK, so my guess 
is that one of the modifications we recently applied the makefiles are 
causing an issue with some of the pthread header requirements.

Obviously, we want to fix this for 1.0.12.
