If the flash plugin is making direct calls to pthread functions,
you'll probably have to provide some sort of compatibility wrappers
for those as well, as the pthreads interface make use of lots of
implementation specific data types supplied by the caller. These
types are not likely to have the same definitions in Linux and FreeBSD.
Check the documentation of all pthread* functions referenced in the
plugin, then find out the definitions of the types of their arguments
from pthread.h on each platform.
For example:
pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex,
const pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
On FreeBSD, pthread_mutex_t and pthread_mutexattr_t are pointers, on
Linux they are structs.
