Hi Roland ...

But please see the definitions of SCM_I_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT in pthread-threads.h:

#if SCM_NEED_BRACES_ON_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
#define SCM_I_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT             { PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT }
#else
#define SCM_I_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT             PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
#endif

And we have stuff in configure.in that is supposed to determine
SCM_NEED_BRACES_ON_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT correctly.  So the extra set of
braces that you have suggested should not be needed, and we should
instead investigate why the configure.in stuff isn't working.

Is there anything less usual about your platform and/or compiler?
