I couldn’t get the same error, but there there were other issues as it uses a 
newer development version of plibc. I’ve added a minimal working version of 
libmicrohttpd to master[1] (since it seems like a handy sort of library), along 
with pkg-config files for plibc[2] and pthreads[3], and updated plibc to a 
recent trunk snapshot[4] that you should be able to use as a starting point.

Cheers,

Tony
