Maybe, but you need POSIX thread library for user programs.

The headers you listed are used for building out-of-tree kernel modules, 
not user programs like minisip.

You need libc6-dev which contains /usr/include/pthread.h and other file 
needed for developing programs using the POSIX thread library and other 
parts of the GNU C library.

If you install the following package, then you'll be able to build most 
parts of Minisip including the GTK+ GUI and video support.

build-essential, pkg-config, libgcrypt-dev, libssl-dev or libgnutls-dev 
(>= 1.4.0), libgconf2-dev, libglib2.0-dev, libsamplerate0-dev, 
libspeex-dev, libgsm1-dev, libavcodec-dev or libavcodeccvs51-dev, 
zlib1g-dev, libdc1394-13-dev or libdc1394-11-dev, libraw1394-dev, 
libxv-dev, libsdl1.2-dev, portaudio19-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, 
libglademm-2.4-dev (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-dev
