After some investigation: davidxu has tried to fix this misbehavior
trough adding
i386_get_gsbase(void **addr)
{
return (sysarch(I386_GET_GSBASE, addr));
}
int
i386_set_gsbase(void *addr)
{
return (sysarch(I386_SET_GSBASE, &addr));
}
to lib/libthr/arch/i386/i386/pthread_md.c (2005-04-23 02:14:38 UTC)
but doesn not fix anything on my machine.
I've added those functions to
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/arch/i386/i386/pthread_md.c to, recompiled
libpthread and installed it, now my galeon, mozilla etc. is running again.
Someone should look at this.
... making world now...
