Actually, this is likely to be a challenge already in the current state.
As I've posted recently, this fails for many of the memory models, inc.
whichever is the default on my current system (linux).
I suggest starting with Makefile.devel (is that part of the hg source?),
finding the line that says 
 # Options to pass to configure
and changing the next line to 
 MULTIBUILD_OPTIONS =  --with-threads=POSIX_THREADS
storing the result as Makefile.develMT
then
 make -f Makefile.develMT -k multibuild-porting64-gcc
in order to at least find SOME way to build MT.

I'd also appreciate if someone could make most or all of the
memory models build, as they used to only a few months ago.

BTW I have recently run across some fairly reliable ways to cause
MT bugs, some involving locking and some crashing.
