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

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

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