30 # The two flags "-fpic -DPIC" are used to indicate a

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

244 # Configure will probably pick the wrong libc to use for nm scan.
245 # The safest quick-fix is just to not use nm at all...

259 # seem to be threadsafe in FreeBSD?
