>Description:
In /etc/defaults/make.conf there is a commented-out entry for
PERL_THREADED, with a comment indicating that uncommenting it
will build perl with multi-thread support.  It quietly fails.
The value should be 'yes', not 'true'.
>How-To-Repeat:
copy the PERL_THREADED=true line to /etc/make.conf and 'make world';
then run 'perl -V'.  You will see that it lists usethreads=undef.
>Fix:
Change the value of the PERL_THREADED macro to: yes
