I added a note to updating:
20040130:
libkse has been renamed back to libpthread and is now the
default threads library. The gcc -pthread option has also
been changed to link to libpthread instead of libc_r. For
alpha and sparc64 machines, libkse is not renamed and links
are installed so that libpthread points to libc_r. Until
the ports system is updated to handle this change, it is
recommended that folks install an /etc/libmap.conf(5) that
maps libc_r to libpthread. If you have any binaries or
libraries linked to libkse, then it is also recommended
that you map libkse to libpthread. Anyone that is using
nvidia supplied drivers and libraries should use a libmap.conf
that maps libpthread to libc_r since their drivers/libraries
do not work with libpthread.
For the ports team, it is recommended that you don't install a
libmap.conf so you can catch build problems. You can use
ldd to check libraries and binaries for use of multiple
thread libraries. Other than respecting PTHREAD_LIBS,
I recommend that autoconf/libtool-type scripts first
check for the existence of libpthread, then libc_r if
libpthread isn't found.

Modified files:
lib/libc_r Makefile
lib/libpthread Makefile
Log:
Change libkse back to libpthread and make it the default
thread library for i386, amd64, and ia64. For alpha
and sparc64 the library is not changed and remains libkse,
and links are installed so that libpthread -> libc_r.
The gcc -pthread option will be changed in a separate
commit so that it links to -lpthread instead of -lc_r.
