Hi,

trying to build firefox 1.5nb3, configure fails to detect pthread
support on my current NetBSD/i386 system:

[...]
checking for lchown... (cached) yes
checking for strerror... (cached) yes
checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no
checking for pthread_create in -lc_r... no
checking for pthread_create in -lc... no
configure: error:  --with-pthreads specified for a system without pthread support 
configure: error: ./configure failed for nsprpub
*** Error code 1
[...]

I successfully built firefox 1.5 about a month ago.

[1]config.log and [2]work.log files are available, in case anybody is
interested. Help is appreciated.


TIA, Jukka
