And recently I had a similar system running FreeBSD-6.2 (amd64 - I'm sure about this one; let's call it system1) and tried to upgrade it to FreeBSD-7.0. To my surprise I had the same errors with missing PIC flag for libpthread. While for system0 I was able to fix the issue by installing devel/pth and symlinking the binary in proper locations, I experimented a little with system1 until I rendered it unusable. My question now is: what happend to the second system? Why did the upgrade fail on this one? Unfortunatly I had to reinstall it ASAP using a FreeBSD CD, because system1 is a production system and I really can't investigate further. I still have other four systems waiting to be upgraded from 6.1 or 6.2 to 7.0 or 7.1 and even they are production, they are replaceable. So I might have the chance to experiment on them, if you think this issue should be chased down. Sorin.
