Assigned the bug to me.

Comment 6

[Wan-Teh Chang]

Attachment: wtc's proposed patch v1. Uses GNU make's 'notdir' function.

Comment 7

[Wan-Teh Chang]

Please give the patch a try.

I noticed that you set NSPR_USER_THREADS=1.  Is this because the
pthread library on NetBSD is not good enough?

Comment 8

[Wan-Teh Chang]

Attachment: wtc's proposed patch v2. Removed redundant MDCPUCFG_H and PR_MD_CSRCS.

[Shin'ichiro TAYA]

I'll try the patch tonight.
NetBSD doesn't have native pthread support.
Only optional pthread packages exists, but threy doesn't work with nspr.

With wtc's proposed patch v2 , I could build mozilla(0.9.1 branch) on
NetBSD-current/i386.
