In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with
@option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built
and tested on i386-*-freebsd4.5 and alpha-*-freebsd5.0 and important
test suite failures remain. Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for
libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before
4.5-RELEASE. The alpha port may not fully bootstrap without some manual
intervention: gcjh will crash with a floating-point exception while
generating @file{java/lang/Double.h} (just copy the version built on
i386-*-freebsd* and rerun the top-level gmake with no arguments and it
should properly complete the bootstrap). Other CPU architectures
supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at
the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi.
