I did define -DFREEBSD in vars_freebsd.mk ?

# FreeBSD with GNU Make, GNU C

EXTRA_CPPFLAGS  += -DHAVE_TIMER_T -DBSD
OS_LIBS         = -pthread
MDFLAGS         += -D__FreeBSD__ -DFREEBSD

It should be commited..

It's dynamic linked liberies for Linux, I wonder why it's not implemented in
FreeBSD. Hmm...

Maybe gerrit can answer on that! If it's not implemented i'll comment it out.

Mostly is faulting the #pragma thing.

Let's hope it still would compile under OS/2 and DOS.
