Thank you! I can confirm that it builds on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2.

As you had suggested, it appears it will now be fairly simple to add
the rest of threading support for this platform since I see how many
ports now use the almost-generic pthread code in linux_threads.c
(perhaps that file should be renamed to posix_threads.c ;-).  I'm glad
I waited for you to do this import.

But it appears that a simple `make check' in boehm-gc broke:

gmake: *** No rule to make target `test.c', needed by `test.o'.  Stop.

Thus, when you say that you saw no testsuite regressions, shall I
assume no regressions in libjava?
