Description:
I have compiled many MySQL version with this setup, most recently 4.0.15.  I am using GCC 2.95.2, and the precompiled FSU Pthreads from mysql.com.  I use "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --disable-shared" During compilation, I get the following error:

gcc -O3 -DDBUG_OFF -DSCO -o test_thr_alarm -DDEFAULT_BASEDIR=\"/usr/local/mysql\
" -DDATADIR=\"/usr/local/mysql/var\" -DDEFAULT_CHARSET_HOME=\"/usr/local/mysql\"

How to repeat:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --disable-shared
# make

error will occur during compilation.

FSU-threads does not support pthread_key_delete in pthread.c which is the thread library used with SCO OpenServer.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

I have now fixed this for MySQL 4.0.18 by adding a test if pthread_key_delete() exists.

Regards,
Monty
