For 1.4.x it'd be better to make deprecated declarations non-fatal, or even just silence the warning altogether. 1.4.x is a stable-branch, so it shouldn't have random code churn like this.

For 1.5.x I'd appreciate it if you could do the g_thread_new() emulation if it's fairly easy - if in doubt I tend to use Debian stable as my benchmark of "your distro must be at least this new", and that only has 2.24 - but bumping the dependency for a development branch wouldn't be too bad, especially when it's only for tests anyway.
