Hi. I just finished compiling and installing pthreads 1.60beta6 on BSD/OS 2.1
and needed to make the following changes.
1) update the syscall-i386-bsdi-2.0.S file with the following patch. This has
to do with symbol pasting in the C pre-processor inserting spaces as per ANSI
standard. Using the "##" paste operator fixes it as below. I used "gcc" to
compile, not "cc". On BSD/OS 2.1, cc is really "gcc version 1.42" and "gcc"
is "gcc version 2.7.2".

2) the config.flags file calls tar with "chf" flags. On BSD/OS the "h" flag
is "L" to follow sym links. Why, I don't know, but that's how it is. I just
edited the file to change the options and it did the trick for installing.
3) I had to set permissions on the installed files to allow all read access;
when tar makes a copy of the include tree, it is set to the owner-read-only
permissions from the source tree.
cd /usr/local/pthreads
find . -print | xargs chmod a+r
find . -type d -print | xargs chmod a+x
Other than that, it compiled and installed just fine. Now to test it out...
Thanks.
