I just spent a several hours fighting to do clean-disk install of FreeBSD
7.1-RELEASE i386. (I needed to that regardless of this problem to see
if it's safe to move to 7.1 on my real systems.) After a random guess
of `ifconfig xl0 -vlanmtu` fixed NFS, everything including a clean
1.3.102 DCC installation followed by a several `updatedcc`s worked fine.
Is there any chance that the system with the problem has the FreeBSD
threading library confusion? Some pre-release version of FreeBSD 7.1
had a libc that broke the old threading library. Because of that mess,
whether -lpthread is used is determined by this fragment from the
./configure script:
FreeBSD)
if test 0`/sbin/sysctl -n kern.osreldate 2>/dev/null` -ge 602000; then
# use new POSIX threads starting with 6.2
appendvar PTHREAD_LDFLAGS -lpthread
else
appendvar PTHREAD_LDFLAGS -pthread
# use libc_r on ancient versions
if test -s /usr/lib/libc_r.a; then
appendvar PTHREAD_LIBS -lc_r
fi
fi

That stuff has not changed since 1.3.92.
