We've eliminated the depency on the threaded runtime in the git repo.
The changes (which are what Apollon suggested: thanks a lot), will be in
the next release of xmobar, which shouldn't be too far away in the
future (depending on external factors it could be as soon as next week,
but it could also be postponed to later next month or so).

You can see the fix here:

Cheers,
