Well, the patch says:

"""
2) There is no tag corresponding to gmock 1.7.0. We circumvent this by
   refering to the commit id corresponding to gmock 1.7.0.
"""

But this is not really true, in the
https://github.com/google/googlemock/ repository, you do have the older
1.7.0.

Also, your patch was using the autotools build process for gmock, which
caused problems with ax_pthread.m4. Isn't switching to the CMake build
process a better idea here, since gtest is anyway already using CMake ?

Thanks,

Thomas
