If you just comment out 2 lines like this:

dnl     AC_CHECK_LIB(c_r, pthread_exit, [LIBS="$LIBS -lc_r";  
pthread="yes"])
dnl    AC_CHECK_LIB(kse, pthread_exit, [LIBS="$LIBS -lkse";  
pthread="yes"])

these will disappear. If they remain, autoconf does not generate ok  
code, but
just drops end of case statement, adding lots of following tests to  
the  bsd branch.
Can someone with access to openbsd or freebsd fix this. You probably  
must
do AC_CHECK_LIB outside the case; autoconf seems to expand macros
quite blindly.
