I updated anoncvs, the patch in src/port/Makefile is there but initdb still
fails to compile.

I suspect this is because in Makefile.global PTHREAD_LIBS is still blank. I
need to add -lpthread these to get stuff working. However I could not figure
out what create PTHREAD_LIBS in Makefile.global.

Is there something else I should try?
