threading in FreeBSD (acx_pthreads)

[Karl H. Beckers]

Hi all,

could you please include me directly in your replies ... I haven't
subscribed.

I'm trying to move my configure.in from manual threading libs detection
to acx_pthreads. That, however, prefers -kthread over -pthread where I
previously did this:

                if ( test -x /sbin/sysctl ) ; then
                        ac_my_freebsd_release=`/sbin/sysctl -n
kern.osreldate`
                else
                        ac_my_freebsd_release=`/usr/sbin/sysctl -n
kern.osreldate`
                fi
                if ( expr ${ac_my_freebsd_release} \< 500016 ) ; then
                        LIBS="${LIBS} -pthread"
                else
                        LIBS="${LIBS} -lc_r"
                fi

Could anybody make a recommendation of the propert thing to do on
FreeBSD? Is the acx_pthread assumption OK, or should I patch that?

TIA,

Karl.
