You need to modify genkit.sh in some ways. Besides adding 
--enable-threads to the configuration options in proc B, you must 
include the threads extension in the whole build. kitsh (I believe) or 
any of the extensions needs to link against it. On windows it is 
somewhat more "hackish", took me some time to get it to run. On Linux it 
is relatively straight forward.
I have done this several times and can send you the genkit.sh script or 
the tclkit (8.4) if you like. Just drop me a mail.

BTW, I should open a wiki entry on this...
