This seems to be a consistent problem on FreeBSD.  I think this is also 
related: <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68877>.

What I don't get at all is how whether or not perl supports threading 
has any bearing on libglib using pthreads.  Why should the one influence 
the other?  Or is pthreads in general broken on FreeBSD?
