+  dnl   because of the conditional visibility, we prefer the former.
+  dnl * glibc supports pthread_setname_np
+  dnl * Darwin supports pthread_setname_np but does not take a
+  dnl   pthread_t argument.

+  AC_CHECK_HEADERS([pthread_np.h])

+  dnl ** pthread_setname_np is a recent addition to glibc, and OS X has
