I've played with these in my rawhide VM (and fixed several other libvirt
bugs in the meantime, so the time was not wasted :).  I was unable to
reproduce this particular failure, which may mean that the latest
winpthreads has indeed fixed the issue.  At any rate, I was pleased to
note this in today's mass rebuild notice:

mingw-libvirt-1.1.2-1
	** Package built successfully while it failed during the previous mass
rebuild **
	Time to build: 12 minutes, 1 second

So at this point, I'll quit worrying further about the issue, and hope
that your conversion to winpthreads goes successfully with the current
state of libvirt.
