OK - I found a small amount of info that seems to indicate that the
correct flag is simply -pthread without -lc_r, and this is also true for
FreeBSD 6, although the only problem I ran into with FreeBSD 6 was a
show stopping 64 bit compile issue. Once I compiled 32 bit I had no
problems.
Anyway, if you are running FreeBSD 7 and have trouble compiling the
binaries, remove -lc_r from the makefile - that seems to be working so
far for me quite well. From what I read, you should remove it
regardless and just keep -pthread, but then I try not to believe
everything I read!

Hi All -
There appears to be a build problem with FreeBSD 7 and XMail, at least
on the two non-64 bit systems I have updated so far - the build fails on
the -lc_r flag. I am uncertain as to the specifics of the lc_r flag -
it appears to be a directive to link against libc_r for threading - but
at any rate, that flag is no longer recognized (or valid?) under FreeBSD
7. I removed it from the Makefile and kept -pthread, and so far
everything seems OK with the XMail binaries.
I am guessing that FreeBSD 7 has changed the way it handles threads,
probably a good thing, and this is the root of the build problem. If
so, does anyone know if simply passing -pthreads is adequate? I haven't
been able to find much info about lc_r so far...
Thanks,
Jeff
