Even if you configure with --disable-pthreads, still tries to build
with pthreads, so you need to remove the headers and the libs, so the
ifdef macro is incorrect.

The issue with time stuff is related to missing, something that Ruby
includes that is theorically "missing" form Windows, but MinGW already
includes.

Ruby should be evaluating if that already exist, either using
configure and HAVE_XXX or if defined macros.
