libdrm-2.4.3 needs pthreads-stubs, not available for fedora, why?

Not sure, pth and pth-devel have been installed since forever.  Are you saying 
I need to hack the ./configure script & subsequent Makefiles?, or what?

Here is the error:
checking for PTHREADSTUBS... configure: error: Package requirements 
(pthread-stubs) were not met:

No package 'pthread-stubs' found
-----------
and there are no *stubs in the pth/pth-devel rpms.  Ack to google, the headers 
are supposedly in the libxcb tarball, but the libxcb rpm available for even 
F11, is many, many versions too old and doesn't contain the headers needed.

Thanks, yell if any more ideas surface.
