Ooops.  This is definitely an error.  If caught before the install, it can
be fixed by changing lines 33-34 of ATLAS/makes/Make.bin from:
IBuildPtlibs:
        cd $(TOPdir)/src/auxil/$(ARCH) ; $(MAKE) ptlib
to:
IBuildPtlibs:
        rm $(INCdir)/atlas_pthreads.h ; cd $(TOPdir)/src/auxil/$(ARCH) ; $(MAKE) ptlib

Your manual fix should be sufficient, but if you want to be sure to have
the new .h, you can generate it yourself by removing the erroneous file
from your include directory, and then issue "make findNT" in your 
ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/<arch> directory.

Thanks,
Clint
