185 I did not know that FreeBSD $osvers supports POSIX threads.
187 Feel free to tell perlbug@perl.com otherwise.
194 POSIX threads are not supported well by FreeBSD $osvers.
196 Please consider upgrading to at least FreeBSD 2.2.8,
197 or preferably to 3.something.
199 (While 2.2.7 does have pthreads, it has some problems
200 with the combination of threads and pipes and therefore
201 many Perl tests will either hang or fail.)
207 if [ ! -r "$lc_r" ]; then
209 POSIX threads should be supported by FreeBSD $osvers --
210 but your system is missing the shared libc_r.
211 (/sbin/ldconfig -r doesn't find any).
213 Consider using the latest STABLE release.

225 # Configure will probably pick the wrong libc to use for nm scan.
226 # The safest quick-fix is just to not use nm at all...
231 # ... but this does not apply for 2.2.8 - we know it's safe
