Re: Unresolved symbols during "make test" for Sybperl 2.17

Thanks for your reply Michael.

It turns out one of the run-time library associated with libpthread was 
missing, which is "librt".   In HP-UX thread local storage cannot be loaded 
dynamically, so I had to set the "LD_PRELOAD" variable to pre-load librt 
instead.

Regards,
Philip
