In case you're talking about Apache 1.x on NetBSD >2: this problem has
been [1]reported several times but was never fixed.

At least a workaround is to append the platform you're building on to
_BLNK_DLOPEN_REQUIRE_PTHREAD_PLATFORMS (in pkgsrc/mk/dlopen.builtin.mk).

Hmm, I still wonder which platform exactly need to be listed. The
dlopen buildlink infrastructure was [2]originally written by jlam, so
probably he knows best...


Cheers, Jukka
