I've finally worked the problem out.  It turns out the latest version of pth
totally hoses jabber.  I've copied the last few maintainers of the package on
this email.  I've found a patch that will fix the configure script to include
and use the jabberd/pth-1.4.0 that is already included in the tar ball.  If
someone will point me to the right person, I'll be happy to email it for the
bug fix.
