what changed on your system? can you look at the Makefile? at the config.log? 
why does it list -lpthread?

  i can only guess that some variable that used to expand to something
now doesn't anymore and, somehow, "-lpthread" is being picked up as a
target because of it.

  i'll make sure i'm up to date, then try again.  e2fsprogs has been
building fine all this time.
