I'm submitting this as RFC as it seems strange that I've come across this
only now, but I don't see how libpthsem ever cross compiled in its current
form.

During the configure stage, libpthsem attempts to compile and run an
executable to detect capabilities such as which direction the stack grows,
behaviour of setjmp, etc. Obviously these fail to execute on non-Intel
architectures, leading to defaults which cause the build to fail even
on architectures where libpthsem is supposed to work.

I've tested mipsel, sparcv8 and aarch64 here but I expect it will fail
for all the other non-Intel architectures too.

There are flags to force some (but not all) of these settings to certain
fallbacks. It's not clear, without access to each of these architectures,
what the correct default fallback settings should be.

This patch therefore disables libpthsem and its dependents on non-Intel
architectures.
