Oh,I made an error, of couse I should have used -lpthread :-).
As Lars Balker Rasmussen suggested the parrot should be linked to libc_r
library by default.
Additionally, Configure.pl key for for KSE should be provided.
For example perl Configure.pl --kse.
This key should be used only after 500023 osversion (5.0-CURRENT after KSE
Milestone 2).
How you think?
And why
+if ($osversion < 500036) {
?
In http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
.if ${OSVERSION} < 500016
is used.
