I know, but other kfreebsd-gnu ports already use LinuxThreads, so getting it to build on mips*-kfreebsd-gnu was much easier this way. > Is there any reason you aren't using NPTL?

I believe that porting NPTL to kernel of FreeBSD would require significant effort. Thanks -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
