1 If your version of patch can't create a file from scratch, then you'll
2 need to create an empty thread.h manually first. Perl itself will need
3 to be built with -DUSE_THREADS yet. If you're using MIT pthreads or
4 another threads package that needs pthread_init() to be called, then
5 add -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT. If you're using a threads library that only
6 follows one of the old POSIX drafts, then you'll probably need to add
7 -DOLD_PTHREADS_API. I haven't tested -DOLD_PTHREADS_API properly yet
8 and I think you may still have to tweak a couple of the mutex calls
