Yes. I remember now. I had built mozilla from a cvs checkout in the
past with --without-pthreads, because there's no advantage to using
pthreads on a single processor system -- for the user, maybe it's
easier for the developer. Therefore, if we're given the option to use
no-pthreads alternative code, as a rule, we should take it.

That's correct, but on 1.5_BETA it _still_ fails that test! It finally
finished downloading for me last night, so I ran "make configure" this
morning, and found that it's failing the test for pthread_create()
because we didn't tell it where to find the pthread includes, so
there's no definition for pthread_t. Did NetBSD-current grow a
pthread_t? That still wouldn't explain why it builds for wiz on 1.5U.

In any case, I suggest we add "CONFIGURE_ENV+= --without-pthreads" to
the mix. This should build the same way for folks who have managed to
build it already. Agreed?

[I did leave a build running at home, but I'm afraid the partition on
which ${WRKOBJDIR} is only ~500mb, so I half expect to find a "disk
full" when I return.]
