(Am trying to ask him himself, but his > spamassassin doesn't like me ;) ) liblthread is devel/linuxthreads - a FreeBSD port of the old linux thread library, which simulated threads using processes. See rfork(2) for an idea of how this was done. On Linux, it was named libkthread; I don't think FreeBSD ever had a libkthread, so this may actually be an error in acx_pthreads.
