Don't try the linuxthreads port. I had no success at all.
For threads, it is much better to use the glibc posix threads.

There is a patch on the website to get drawterm to compile under 
FreeBSD 4 (I think). Try that. If that doesn't work remind me, and I'll 
take a look.

As for IL in the kernel, I've not looked yet, but will.
