For the record, it seems that having the symbols appear is correct. The last successful build was 1:7.6.4-0.4, with the next build in unstable, 1:8.0.4-1, failing (experimental failed but only due to aptitude itself being uninstallable) with the symbol error. Looking at the changelog, 7.6.6 has the following entry: * Define GC_FREEBSD_THREADS and GC_ADD_CALLER macros for kFreeBSD Given that the symbols that started to appear are guarded by PARALLEL_MARK, I assume this means that PARALLEL_MARK started to be enabled as a result of having threading enabled.
