mit-pthreads actually. However, using mit-phreads results in a slower, somewhat crippled build of MySQL. However, the fact that MySQL bundles in mit-pthreads in nice. The LDAP stuff only works with libc_r though.
Or am I missing something here?
Yes. libc_r is the best Posix threads implementation for FreeBSD. Either ports use a crippled lib like the mit-pthreads (which does not support pipes for one), or in some cases they can't be built at all (LDAP).
I'm running the LDAP port here. When I installed it I didn't even know libc_r existed, and I've never built it. The UMich LDAP appears to have a fall-back for systems lacking threads support. Unfortunately it is buggy in this case, it kept eating 100% of the CPU. I've managed to hack the source to fix this, however.
Of course, I'm sure LDAP performs better with pthreads than without.
