+Summary: FreeBSD 5.4 links multiply in trunk svn
+
+Hi.  
+
+Well, we finally have a FreeBSD tester over on the bsd# mailing list who
+can use Svn, and he has run a successful build on 5.4, a critical test
+which I was unable to perform, as I run 6.0 here.  Sigaltstack works, and
+all of the tests pass.  See:
+
+http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/maillist/archbrowse.php/bsd-sharp-list/2005-April/000225.html?id=1498&prjname=bsd-sharp&mlname=list
+
+
+Unfortunately, a small problem has turned up with stock FreeBSD.  The mono
+executable is being linked against two pthread libraries, libpthread and
+libthr, in spite of my attempts to link only against libthr.  This is due
+to the pkg-config --libs gthread-2.0 test which is run in configure, and
+which returns -lpthread -pthread.
+
+Other discussion on the list have convinced me that the FreeBSD world is
+not ready at this time (there are some politics involved) to link
+unconditionally against libthr, instead of libpthread.  Feh.  Therefore, I
+will attach a patch to this bug to revert back to -lpthread only for
+freebsd5|6*.  
+
+With the new sigaltstack enabled by default for freebsd, either library
+works ok, but due to the pkg-config test, both libraries are currently
+being linked which causes crashes.  Rather than hack around pkg-config,
+those who wish to use libthr can use the FreeBSD libmap.conf utility, to
+remap the library dynamically.
+
+Watch for patch soon, and thanks.
