Hmmm. Well, q-5.3 still works on here... my inclination is to suggest Q's
doing something less than compatible in v5.4. :)

OK, I've just done:

(CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/stow/darwinports/include -I/usr/local/iODBC/include
-pipe -g " LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/stow/darwinports/lib
-L/usr/local/iODBC/lib -liodbc " ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/q
--with-{x,gmp,curl,gdbm,magick,odbc,xml}
--with-rl="-L/usr/local/stow/darwinports/lib -lreadline" --without-pthread
&& nice make )|& tee build-conf.log

and exactly the same error has occurred mid-build... Hmmm. OK,
`--without-pthread' is not being respected, as all the **/Makefile files
have references to it in.

<runs quick perl 1-liner to remove all references to `-lpthread'>

...nope, same thing.

However, I've just fixed it. `dlcompat' is a bone of contention in
darwinports, but by exporting 

 | setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib/:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

it's now picking up another version that doesn't exhibit the problem. So
all is back to normal and I can migrate the website to the newer version :)

Cheers
