Appears there's a bug in the NetBSD hint file...
Use interpreter-based ithreads? [y]
Your platform has some specific hints for threaded builds, using them...
EOCBU: not found
$ cat UU/usethreads.cbu
case "$usethreads" in

# The GNU pth is the recommended user-level pthreads implementation.
# As of NetBSD 1.5.2 there are no kernel pthreads.
if pkg_info -qe pth; then
# Add -lpthread.

ldflags="-R/usr/pkg/lib $ldflags"
# There is no libc_r as of NetBSD 1.5.2, so no c -> c_r.

test -d /usr/pkg/lib && loclibpth="$loclibpth /usr/pkg/lib"
test -d /usr/pkg/include && locincpth="$locincpth /usr/pkg/include"
The problem seems to be there's an extra bit of whitespace after the
EOCBU tag.

Even with that in place threads still aren't switched off.

Perl can be built so that multiple Perl interpreters can coexist
within the same Perl executable.
and it goes on trying to build threads. I don't have GNU pth
installed. No prompt, no error. Configure keeps on going with
threads.
It would appear that my copy of pkg_info is busted.
$ perl -wle 'print system "/usr/sbin/pkg_info -e hurfburf"'
0
and I have no /var/db/pkg/ or /usr/pkg/. That's Very Odd.
Lemme go find out what's up with this machine.
