Building perl 5.8.6 on NetBSD 2.0/sparc from pkgsrc-current leads to 
miniperl dumping core. gdb says:

 	#0  0x1030c100 in pthread__lock_ras_end () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0

Is this a known problem, how does one work around it? Is it fixed on the 
netbsd-2 or maybe netbsd-2-0 branch, and if so, what component needs 
rebuilding - kernel, libpthread, ...?

More information is appended below, please let me and/or Martin Ebnoether 
(CC:d) know! (It`s his machine, an IPC)

What can we do to get perl going on sparc?
Thanks!
