Ah yes, I've seen this on sparc64 systems when trying to build certain
packages and not using native pthreads (eg clamav). A quick 'n dirty hack
is to do the following:
- in /usr/include/signal.h, comment out the definitions of
pthread_sigmask() and pthread_kill()
- in /usr/include/sys/types.h, comment out the include of <pthread_types.h>
That normally works for me, YYMV of course. I've been meaning to see if
pkgsrc could handle this tranparently, but the round tuits have been
lacking.
