This was blocking me as well.

I discovered that the configure script was detecting and bringing in
libasound, which is linked against libpthread.  This is bad when Kaffe
is being built with jthreads (the default).

I tried --without-alsa and --without-sound, but those options didn't
have the desired effect.  I'm going to have to do some work on the
configure script.

Cheers,
