+             This is also the first (I think) Perl threads build with
+             the GNU pth ( http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html ).
+             NetBSD does not as of yet have true kernel POSIX threads,
+             but the user-level pth seems to be doing pretty well--
+             the only failure is that threads/t/basic okays 6 and 7
+             consistently seem be arriving in the reverse order.
+             Well, gdbm.t is also failing: 'Undefined PLT symbol
+             "gdbm_open" (reloc type = 7, symnum = 28)', but I'm
+             guessing that GDBM would need a threaded rebuild.
