Fixing -pthreads (Re: ports and -current)

[Mark Linimon]

IMHO if the ports tree is unfrozen for the -pthreads fixes,
the 4.9 release schedule will drift days if not weeks.

While it's not as apparent as the kernel build issues,
there are significant QA issues that go into the ports
system.  That's why the freeze is in place, to allow
the QA process to run its course.

Executive summary: POLA was violated for all the ports maintainers
who do not keep up with kernel intricacies.  Dismissing their
distress at this doesn't really help the project move along.
