GLib 2.11.1 FreeBSD make fails

["Vitaly D" <katsuo_harada_evil_does hotmail com>]

Hello, All!

I've already posted a make issue here not so long time ago. Here we come 
again.

For a history i'm building a desktop station based on FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE 
(GENERIC) kernel.

while building GLib-2.11.1 i've got the following errors :

as you can see the problem comes IMHO from badly compiled libgthread because 
it was compiled without -lc_r option.

libc_r.a  is the implementation of threads on FreeBSD system. During 
configure of GLib-2.11.1
i've specified LIBS=-lc_r and even LDFLAGS=-lc_r (!!! :-) ) but libgthread 
IMHO wasn't properly compiled. It seems that libtool and compagny line 
invoked from Makefile preserves -lc_r option but the effective command 
doesn't include -lc_r option as you can see in the example above.

BUT libgthread don't reference pthread functions as result we get the above 
errors.


2. as you can see the line

Making all in refcount
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall   -lc_r -o closures  
closures.o
../../glib/libglib-2.0.la ../../gobject/libgobject-2.0.la 
../../gthread/libgthread-2.0.la -pthreads -lintl  -lc_r

specifies -lc_r option BUT when executing the effective command this option 
is not present! WHY! i'm using GNU make latest specially build for freetype 
build.

i've solved the problem by manually writing

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/closures closures.o -pthreads  
../../glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -L/usr/lib
../../gobject/.libs/libgobject-2.0.so
../../gthread/.libs/libgthread-2.0.so 
/home/libs/glib-2.11.1/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libiconv.so /usr/lib/libintl.so /usr/test/libiconv/lib/libiconv.so 
-Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/test/glib-2.11.1/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/test/libiconv/lib -lc_r

in Makefile in tests/refcount directory for each target (closures properties 
signals) and it worked, but i'm wondering if there won't be any problems on 
run-time ???

i should also say that the exactly the same problem occurs in test directory 
whiile compiling error-mutex-something.c

what can you say about this ??? how should i proceed in order to build 
"proper" glib-2.11.1 ???

p.s while compiling pkg-config early i've got the same problems but in 
gthread subdirectory. was solved in the same manner by mannualy adding -lc_r 
option but not in make file but on the command line. as make checks for 
newer versions and dependencies it was sufficent. but in GLib-2.11.1 
compiling mannually don't work because of rm -f before building each target.
