Quite right, I was only reading the top of the log :(

According to the man pages for -current on
http://www.netbsd.org/, the implementation supports
pthread_cancel and pthread_testcancel, and all you need to
do is link with -lpthread. Dunno about older versions
though.

Can you try compiling the test program (config/pthread.c)
with,

    cc -lpthread -g -Wall -o pthread pthread.c

and tell me what you get?
