In general: yes. But the with_pthread=yes option in "db" is really just
experimental. I even added a %{warn: ...} to it. I currently just need
it to allow one to drive a Pthread-based OpenLDAP and actually I would
like to get rid of "db"'s "with_pthread" option at all again soon, too.
So, I don't think we should put any real efforts into this. Best is to
never build "db" with "with_pthread=yes" at all... Perhaps the %{warn}
in db.spec should be even a %{error}...

I build once with and without your patch and the result looks just fine.
I see no problem. Please commit these cleanup changes, Christoph.
