199 I did not know that FreeBSD $osvers supports POSIX threads.
201 Feel free to tell perlbug@perl.org otherwise.
208 POSIX threads are not supported well by FreeBSD $osvers.
210 Please consider upgrading to at least FreeBSD 2.2.8,
211 or preferably to the most recent -RELEASE or -STABLE
212 version (see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/).
214 (While 2.2.7 does have pthreads, it has some problems
215 with the combination of threads and pipes and therefore
216 many Perl tests will either hang or fail.)
222 if [ ! -r "$lc_r" ]; then
224 POSIX threads should be supported by FreeBSD $osvers --
225 but your system is missing the shared libc_r.
226 (/sbin/ldconfig -r doesn't find any).
228 Consider using the latest STABLE release.

235 # on the 31st of August 2003 can still be used with -pthread,
