 Your config.log output above shows that configure does link pthreads:
 $ gcc -pthread -o ffconf.iBCSJu0K.exe /tmp/ffconf.pdlULg0G.o (simplified)

 > I believe my initial report was reporting that I had configured it
 without passing the right compiler directive flags to *use* libpthread.a
 correctly, the second report was when I had no libpthread.a file present
 on the system at all.

 It is not a good idea to change the report in the middle of the ticket.
 Please elaborate which is the (bottom of the) output of:
 $ make distclean && ./configure --disable-w32threads && make ffmpeg; make
 V=1 ffmpeg
