Hmm.  PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP seems not to be portable
enough.  (I know that the _NP suffix means 'non-portable'...)

I guess the most portable way to get recursive mutexes is to use
pthread_mutex_init together with pthread_mutexattr_settype with
PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE, which is defined in UNIX98.

I will make this change and let you know when it is done.

In the mean time, could you try to configure with --without-threads?
With that option, guile should make no reference to pthread things.
