Change 13585 by jhi@alpha on 2001/12/10 02:47:01
Add threads support for NetBSD.
This is also the first (I think) Perl threads build with
the GNU pth ( http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html ).
NetBSD does not as of yet have true kernel POSIX threads,
but the user-level pth seems to be doing pretty well--
the only failure is that threads/t/basic okays 6 and 7
consistently seem be arriving in the reverse order.
Well, gdbm.t is also failing: 'Undefined PLT symbol
"gdbm_open" (reloc type = 7, symnum = 28)', but I'm
guessing that GDBM would need a threaded rebuild.
