192 I did not know that FreeBSD $osvers supports POSIX threads.
194 Feel free to tell perlbug@perl.org otherwise.
201 POSIX threads are not supported well by FreeBSD $osvers.
203 Please consider upgrading to at least FreeBSD 2.2.8,
204 or preferably to the most recent -RELEASE or -STABLE
205 version (see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/).
207 (While 2.2.7 does have pthreads, it has some problems
208 with the combination of threads and pipes and therefore
209 many Perl tests will either hang or fail.)

225 POSIX threads should be supported by FreeBSD $osvers --
226 but your system is missing the shared libc_r.
227 (/sbin/ldconfig -r doesn't find any).
229 Consider using the latest STABLE release.
233 # 500016 is the first osreldate in which one could
234 # just link against libc_r without disposing of libc
235 # at the same time. 500016 ... up to whatever it was
