I had a go at fixing some of the ones listed on your status page. I started with the ones that had the greatest number of dependencies. The thing I'm not sure about is whether there is consensus that the -pthread argument should be removed from GCC. I've supported Dan's approach because I understand the background. I think there have been a few too many "don't do that" emails. I'm tempted to suggest that -pthread be kept and set to the default thread library (which I think should be libpthread aka libkse). If FreeBSD really wants to have an alternate thread library (libthr), then add another argument to toggle that. I know that'll make things confusing, but having more than one thread library is more confusing than a change to -pthread. -- John Birrell _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
