How is the template wrong?  The following code was gotten from a FreeBSD
user.  Should the top case be used with all FreeBSD's?case $host_os in                freebsd2*|freebsd3*|freebsd4*)
                   THREAD_CFLAGS="-pthread"                        NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=yes
;;               *)                        THREAD_LIBS="-lc_r"                        NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=yes
                  ;;esac
