pThreads 2.8.0 build with VS 2005 (VC 8)

[Milan Gornik]

I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 / Visual C++ 8. I tried to build 
pThreads library v2.8.0 from the source code and had some problems.

Following configurations don't build successfully:

1) nmake clean vce

   Creating library pthreadVCE2.lib and object pthreadVCE2.exp
misc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _ptw32_mcs_lock_release 
referenced in function "void __cdecl ptw32_once_on_init_cancel(void *)"

timespec const *)" (?ptw32_timed_eventwait@@YAHPAXPBUtimespec@@@Z)

Stop.

2) nmake clean vce-debug

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\BIN\nmake.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Other configurations are building successfully, with some warnings though.

Is this a known issue? Are there known workarounds? Or, am I just missing to 
set enivornment properly before build?
