Quote from /src/etc/defaults/make/conf:
# To build perl with thread support
#PERL_THREADED= true
This cannot work because in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefile.inc
PERL_THREADED is compared against the string "yes".
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl
make PERL_THREADED=true all install
perl -e '$Config{usethreads} or die "Recompile Perl"'
>Fix:
The simple fix would be to change "true" to "yes" in make.conf.
Unfortunately this will break the compilation of perl!
I see two options:
(1) Remove the documention of PERL_THREADED in make.conf
(2) Fix the Perl build such that "make PERL_THREADED=yes all" works
