So the question now is: how do we fix the issue with threaded python?
how do we get libc_r into the mix on FreeBSD 4.11?
A possible compromise is to add -lc_r to LIBS if (a) --enable-python
and (b) platform is one of those known to need it.

I think most people use the ports when using postgresql with FreeBSD.
There are a bunch of ports, one for the server, another for plpython, yet
another for plperl. Hence, if the ports are used, the server will be
configured separately from the plpython.so, and the above suggestion will
not do. OTH, the port for the server has a bunch of options (opted using
dialog(1)), where one is:
"Link w/ libc_r, used by plpython"
It defaults to off, but it is pretty obvious that if you need plpython, you
should check that option.
If it is on, following happens:
--
.if ${OSVERSION} < 500016
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?= -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -pthread
.elif ${OSVERSION} < 502102
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?= -D_THREAD_SAFE
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -lc_r
.else
PTHREAD_CFLAGS?=
PTHREAD_LIBS?= -pthread
.endif
--
and then PTHREAD_X are added to X. The pthread switch actually adds -lc_r
to the linking chain:
--
gcc(1) man page excerpt:
FreeBSD SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-pthread
Link a user-threaded process against libc_r instead of libc.
Ob-
jects linked into user-threaded processes should be
compiled
with -D_THREAD_SAFE.

See
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/databases/postgresql80-server/Makefile>
for the port's sources.
BTW, I do have 4.11 boxes running SMP, shall I run another test, on SMP?
