Maybe we could simply just give it a try (after the upcoming release), follow the autobuilds, and see how it works? I guess maybe Yang may have some input on this, he did a lot of work with the autoconfig, also for Solaris. I have been reading the manpages, as an alternative to setting _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS there's also the more global option of setting _POSIX_C_SOURCE to a value >= 199506L but I'm not sure how that would work out (although I do that in some of my own code). -Tor ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
