On Linux tclUnixPort.h doesn't include pthread.h as well. It includes
sys/types.h which includes bits/pthreadtypes.h with the necessary
declaration. On hurd-i386 the file bits/pthreadtypes.h is empty.

Is it safe to include pthread.h in Linux also? Or it's better to do
that only on hurd-i386?

BTW, this issue arised only after some recent changes in glibc. Tcl
8.5 never FTBFS on hurd-i386 before.
