In config/python.m4 you'll find the following:
# threaded python is not supported on bsd's
AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether Python is compiled with thread support)
pythreads=`${PYTHON} -c "import sys; print(int('thread' in
sys.builtin_module_names))"`
if test "$pythreads" = "1"; then AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) case $host_os in openbsd*|freebsd*) AC_MSG_ERROR([threaded Python
notsupported on this platform]) ;; esac
else AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
fi
So it looks like we throw that error on OpenBSD and FreeBSD. That was
apparently introduced by this relatively inexplicable commit, back in
2005:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=d3a0c8dce9380e77734e41becd9aa35618030352
It seems plausible this might not be a problem any more, 5 years on...perhaps you could comment that test out of
configureand see if it
works for you. Or if not, what the actual problem is.
