      Bug#42524: Function pthread_setschedprio() is defined but seems broken on i5/OS PASE
      
      The problem is that MySQL use of pthread_setschedprio is not
      supported i5/OS and the default system behavior for unsupported
      calls is to emit a SIGILL signal which causes the server to
      abort.
      
      The solution is to treat the pthread_setschedprio as inexistent
      when compiling binaries to i5/OS. This also does not invalidate
      the fix for bug 38477 as the only supported dispatch class is
      SCHED_OTHER (which is passed to pthread_setschedparam).
