Re: Getting an error when compiling with "--with-threads=flavor"

[Compro P. <com...@gm...>]

As I mentioned that non MT build was going well. So, I had already
installed libsigsegv, libffcall, libreadline and libiconv at the first
place.
But when I compiled with MT support using
../configure --with-threads=FLAVOUR
(This time I made the build directory)
I got the output posted at http://paste.lisp.org/display/341721
which I think is error free.

The problem arises when I use make. It gives a long output hosted at two
locations http://paste.lisp.org/display/341722 and
http://paste.lisp.org/display/341723 .

According to me it was missing libpthread, so the next time I ran
make CFLAGS+="-lpthread"
which did work for most of the part when it suddenly broke with the
message:
*** - SYSTEM::%FIND-PACKAGE: There is no package with name "FFI"
Since, it was too long so it took three pages:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/341724
http://paste.lisp.org/display/341725
http://paste.lisp.org/display/341726

My system:
uname -rom: 4.10.2-1-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux
gcc --version: gcc (GCC) 6.3.1 20170306
make --version: GNU Make 4.2.1
libffcall 1.10
libreadline 7.0
libiconv 1.15
libsigsegv 2.10
