Unfortunately, you are patching the wrong thing.  configure is a generated
script, your patch needs to touch the upstream file for things to make a
difference.  Furthermore, it looks like you are patching an AC_LINK_IFELSE
test, whose job is to determine whether there is an external symbol named
pthread_create that can be linked against (hence the re-declaration with
the odd signature), and not whether it can be called properly (the test
program being linked cannot be successfully run).  If you were patching an
AC_RUN_IFELSE test, it would make sense.
