30 # The two flags "-fpic -DPIC" are used to indicate a
31 # will-be-shared object. Configure will guess the -fpic, (and the
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.

180 I did not know that FreeBSD $osvers supports POSIX threads.
182 Feel free to tell perlbug@perl.com otherwise.
189 POSIX threads are not supported well by FreeBSD $osvers.
191 Please consider upgrading to at least FreeBSD 2.2.8,
192 or preferably to 3.something.
194 (While 2.2.7 does have pthreads, it has some problems
195 with the combination of threads and pipes and therefore
196 many Perl tests will either hang or fail.)
202 if [ ! -r "$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...
226 # ... but this does not apply for 2.2.8 - we know it's safe
