Thanks,

Although the Makefile in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/mit-pthreads states that arm32 is
supported, it seems that this is incorrect.

There is a reference to arm.....risc* and arm........RISC* (can't remember what
was where I've placed .s) in ...../config/config.guess - These presumably would
match the old riscix implementation.

The above match would AFAIKT still fail to compile, since only the following
architectures seem to be recognised in ..../config/configure.in:
	
	alpha-*-netbsd1.1* | alpha-*-netbsd1.2* | alpha-*-netbsd1.3*) alpha-*-osf*)
	hppa1.1-*-hpux*)
	sparc-*-sunos4.1.3* | sparc-*-sunos4.1.4*)
	sparc-*-solaris2*)
	i386-*-linux*)
	i386-*-bsdi1.1)
	i386-*-netbsd1.1* | i386-*-netbsd1.2* | i386-*-netbsd1.3*) i386-*-netbsd1.0*)
	i386-*-netbsd0.9*)
	m68*-*-netbsd*)
	i386-*-freebsd2.*)
	romp-*-bsd*)
	mips-dec-ultrix*)
	mips-sgi-irix*) 

Fooling the make into believing that it is building for one of the above will
not work either, as there is cpu specific assembler in the syscalls required.

Am I missing something, or should this be the subject of a send-pr?

regards,
Dave
