configure.ag: with clang, disable -pthread as compiler option (but keep it as linker option)
Also clang 3.3 on fedora 20 appears to work fine without -pthread as compiler option (but requires it as linker option).
from man gcc:
-pthread Adds support for multithreading with the pthreads library. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
This is typically something like _REENTRANT.
On Mountain Lion, gcc/clang would set _REENTRANT. Same for CentOS 6.
% /usr/bin/gcc -dumpspecs | grep pthread %{static:%{!dynamic:-D__STATIC__}}%{!static:-D__DYNAMIC__} %%{pthread:-D_REENTRANT}
What I can imagine here, is that because clang on Mavericks now defaults to C99 mode (instead of gnu89 mode gcc defaults to) you get different defines and behaviour, possibly including _REENTRANT. A preprocessor check would have to give some facts around that.
