On my Fedora 20 box with mingw cross-compiler, the build failed with:
../../src/rpc/virnetclient.c: In function 'virNetClientSetTLSSession':
../../src/rpc/virnetclient.c:745:14: error: unused variable 'oldmask' [-Werror=unused-variable]
sigset_t oldmask, blockedsigs;
^
I traced it to the fact that mingw64-winpthreads installs a header
that does #define pthread_sigmask(...) 0, which means any argument
only ever passeed to pthread_sigmask is reported as unused. This
patch works around the compilation failure, with behavior no worse
than what mingw already gives us regarding the function being a
no-op.
* configure.ac (pthread_sigmask): Probe for broken mingw macro.
* src/util/virutil.h (pthread_sigmask): Rewrite to something that
avoids unused variables.

Tested for both mingw and Linux; I'll probably push this under
the build-breaker rule on Monday if I don't have a review first.
