Please, don't make live harder! Explicit --with-threads won't add any
value to safety against this kind of bugs. libxml2 intended to be
multithreaded by default, therefore, breaking MT safety in default
configuration (without any --{with,without}-threads option) noticed very
fast. In contrast the bugs in explicit --with-threads handling may live
unnoticed some long time.
Therefore, my proposal NOT to add --with-threads to the configure flags
(which, for example, would not help you with libxml2-2.7.4), but just
upgrade libxml2 package itself to 2.7.6 version.
If you anyway want to stay at libxml2-2.7.5 for any cost, then you need not to
add yet another configure flag, but cherry-pick the appropriate patch from
upstream:
858084f Restore thread support in default configuration
