pthread_sigmask tests: Use new multithread modules.
POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/pthread.h.html}
-Gnulib module: pthread
+Gnulib module: pthread-h
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
+This header file is missing on some platforms.
+Minix 3.1.8, mingw 2.x, MSVC 14.
+But the provided replacement covers only the essential POSIX threads API.
+Furthermore it is just a dummy on some of these platforms:
+Minix 3.1.8.
+@item
This header pollutes the namespace with some broken macro
implementations for various functions such as @code{strtok_r} and
@code{gmtime_r}:
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
-This header file is missing on some platforms; the replacement does
-not offer threads, so much as lightweight stubs that make conditional
-compilation easier for fallbacks to single-threaded programs.
-Minix 3.1.8, mingw 2.x, MSVC 14.
-@item
This header file lacks the declaration of @code{pthread_atfork} on some
platforms:
IRIX 6.5.
