The libc_r and libthr threads libraries do not support
PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM. The standard does not require support for both
PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS and PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM, so it's better if you
don't treat failure of pthread_attr_setscope() as fatal to the program.
If you're running FreeBSD 4.0, your only choice of threads library is
libc_r.
Also note that the pthread_attr_*() functions are special in that they
do not set the errno variable. They return their error code, so you
need to do something like:
rv = pthread_attr_setscope(&attr, PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM);
if (rv && rv != ENOTSUP)
handle_error();
