On my Fedora 20 box with mingw cross-compiler, the build failed with:

I traced it to the fact that mingw64-winpthreads installs a header that does #define pthread_sigmask(...) 0, which means any argument only ever passeed to pthread_sigmask is reported as unused. This patch works around the compilation failure, with behavior no worse than what mingw already gives us regarding the function being a no-op.
* configure.ac (pthread_sigmask): Probe for broken mingw macro. * src/util/virutil.h (pthread_sigmask): Rewrite to something that avoids unused variables.

Tested for both mingw and Linux; I'll probably push this under the build-breaker rule on Monday if I don't have a review first.
