hmm, i had to remove all refernce to -lc to get it miniperlmain to run
without segfaulting, i tried adding -lc before -lpthreads but it didnt
seem to work for me.

I edited the Makefile directly and changed the -lc to a -lpthreads in the
libs = " line. (cant remember the exact libs i used).

If you dont tell the linker to link to libc it still does it, so there is
no harm, i found that if you add -lc to the lpthread/tests/Makefile it
fails those tests as well.

I only completed the minitests, of them it only failed stat (timed out),
and pipe, i manually went through configure to compile it myself.

What db are you using, i used db4.1 but it required a patch to perl.

Ill try and run the full test and see if i have the same problem
