The ports all have a NO_THREADS option you can set when rebuilding. There has been one issue with either the xerces or the xalan port noted by Berin Lautenbach and is fixed at least in my local versions now; got linked against both libc and libc_r. Berin can you have a look at the build framework please so I might release some final freebsd ports and find someone to commit them so they get in the ports tree ? -- Bjoern A.
