Sorry for being a bit cryptic last night...

I would like some people to test these patches. Specifically, can someone
build with the patches I posted (I think you'll have to remove the -soname
arguments to DSO_LDFLAGS) on a -stable machine. Follow the build
instructions on mozilla.org. And, can someone try compiling against a real
copy of Motif.

I'm not happy with using .so extentions on the ELF shared libraries, they
must be .so.1, but then it doesn't build because it wants to link against
.so files, and there is no easy way to add .so -> .so.1 symlinks... Can
anyone tell me if the -soname argument is needed for a direct call to 'ld'?

If anyone out there listening is fairly familiar with FreeBSD's internals,
can they check the changes I have made, especially those for pthreads
support, to see if they are right. They seem to be, and everything builds,
but I'd like to be 100% sure before submitting these.

I already sent most of these changes to mozilla.org, but was mostly ignored.
The NSPR guy corrected my patches, but never committed them. Seems if you
don't have a netscape.com address you have to submit changes one line at a
time. :(

Regards,
 -Jeremy
