Those warning are just that:  warnings, nothing related to your problem.

My first guess is that you're using a libxml from before thread safety
was introduced, or have a version that wasn't compiled to support it:

http://xmlsoft.org/threads.html

There was a recent change to PostgreSQL that switched the default to
turning on thread safety for clients when you build.  You can easily
turn it back off again with passing --disable-thread-safety if you just
don't have an installed libxml that is thread-safe.
