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

32 # -DPIC is not used by perl proper) but the full define is included to
33 # be consistent with the FreeBSD general shared libs building process.

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

237 # Configure will probably pick the wrong libc to use for nm scan.
238 # The safest quick-fix is just to not use nm at all...
243 # ... but this does not apply for 2.2.8 - we know it's safe
251 # Even with the malloc mutexes the Perl malloc does not
252 # seem to be threadsafe in FreeBSD?
