For information, gcc will compile mimedefang fine on Solaris. The
configure process logs

  checking whether gcc accepts -pthread... no
  checking for pthread_once in -lpthread... yes

gcc gets the '-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS' argument, and the make happily
succeeds. (mimedefang 2.23, gcc 2.8.1, SunOS 5.8)
