My bad. As Peter points out, you are supposed to manually copy the .a 
and a couple .h (pthread.h and sched.h if I'm not mistaken) into your 
MinGW lib & include directories. However, it looks like I just renamed 
libpthreadGC2.a to libpthread.a when I installed it on my machine 
instead of fixing the autoconf files to use the default library name.

I'll make sure this is patched, and add some notes on pthread-win32 
installation on the project page. Thanks for testing.
