Fix pthread detection configure.in always calls AC_CHECK_COMP_OPT(pthread) which succeeds with the toolchain used although it does not contain thread support: checking for mutex_lock in -lthread ... no checking for pthread_mutex_lock in -lpthread... no checking for pthread_mutex_lock in -lc... no checking if compiler accepts -pthread... yes checking for pthread_mutex_lock in -lc... no checking for pthread_mutex_lock in -lpthread... no This positive configure check leads to CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -pthread" in ./configure, line 15757 which causes a compilation bug /home/br/br4/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/4.8.3/../../../../arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueab using this defconfig http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e86/e86e97ff7887f1bdc6bf913498392ff50f56ea88/defconfig This patch disables the freebsd-only code path. Patching configure directly prevents the need for autoreconf.
