  ./configure: line 12342: syntax error near unexpected token `PTHREADSTUBS,'
  ./configure: line 12342: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PTHREADSTUBS, pthread-stubs)'
  error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30192 (%build)

libpthread-stubs 0.1 is installed. This failure is new since

    intel: Protect bufmgr objects with a pthread mutex.
    
    We want to be able to use the bufmgr from multiple threads for GL, and thus
    we need to protect the internal structures.
    
    The pthread-stubs package is used so that programs not linked against
    pthreads get weak symbols to stubs and don't eat most of the cost.
