All our NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD slaves use --without-thread. Without it, they all wedge in some way or another. (That should be fixed*/investigated, but, until then, yeah, --without-threads allows for a slightly more useful (but still broken) test suite run on these platforms.)
[*]: I suspect the problem with at least OpenBSD is that their userland pthreads implementation just doesn't cut it; there is no hope for the really technical tests that poke and prod at things like correct signal handling and whatnot.
For OpenBSD the situation should be fixed in the latest release: http://www.openbsd.org/52.html#new I haven't tried it myself though. Stefan Krah
