Dan, Thanks for that comprehensive answer. It doesn't seem like the FreeBSD solution will be one that I will try to implement into my installation of Darwin, as it draws on skills and knowledge that I definitely don't have -- though it would be educational to take a look into Darwin's threading system (and see if it matches that of FreeBSD), I wouldn't know where to start.
After a re-compile with different options but identical problems, I have decided that when I get to work tomorrow I'll try one of the binaries from my local MySQL mirror, unless someone can suggest Darwin-friendly ./configure options. Interesting that the first (50-line commit) patch to FreeBSD's libc_r was almost three years ago to the day!
