No specific reason, no. I placed the check there because it seemed
to be the general area where we make cheks of this kind (checks for
library functions, ptrace prototypes, etc).  But I'm happy to move
it next to the AIX thread detection check.  We could even perform
the check on AIX only, although I had the feeling that we usually
this type of check regardless of the host (this is the case for
the ptrace checks, for instance).
