To build R12B-4 on FreeBSD 6.3, I had to apply the following patches.
Your can reproduce this problem by simply invoking "./configure
--enable-threads --enable-dynamic-ssl-lib && gmake"
(If you run configure without arguments, the build will fail, but
that's another story)
(1) gethostbyname_r argument
[Problem]
gcc -g -O2 -DEI_64BIT -fPIC -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline
-fno-strict-aliasing -I. -I../include -Iconnect -Iencode -Idecode
-Imisc -Iepmd -Iregistry -Ix86_64-unknown-freebsd6.3 -D_REENTRANT
-D_THREAD_SAFE -DPOSIX_THREADS -c connect/ei_resolve.c -o
/home/akira/src/otp_src_R12B-4/lib/erl_interface/obj.mt/x86_64-unknown-freebsd6.3/ei_resolve.o
connect/ei_resolve.c: In function `ei_gethostbyname_r':
connect/ei_resolve.c:629: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r'
from incompatible pointer type
connect/ei_resolve.c:629: error: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r'
connect/ei_resolve.c:629: warning: return makes pointer from integer
without a cast
[Fix]

(2) Type of get_extended_mem
