DragonFly and Interix support, profiling support on PPC, link threads
with -pthread on DragonFly, disable some checks for no-X11 operation,
Kill ndbm check, depend on bdb from pkgsrc. That should be what the
chunks are doing in order.

Hm. This change is problematic, at least for DragonFly it seems
incorrect.

PPC, cna't comment.

Similiar.

Same issue as patch-aa, NetBSD expects __mcount, e.g. DragonFly needs
.mcount.

I guess we want to build against db, not gdbm :-)

ISO C compliance.

Honor CFLAGS from pkgsrc.

Honor CFLAGS, use our install programs for better permission control.

Similiar, don't use INSTALL_PROGRAM (which can strip) for Ocaml
binaries.

Skipping the rest of the patch, which handle the same comproblem as aj
and ak.

Thanks for taking this uptream.
