+     NOTE: If you are building on FreeBSD, you should add the argument
+           --with-mpm=prefork to the configure line.  The Apache Group
+           has discovered that threads do not work well with Apache
+           on FreeBSD.  For that reason, we disable threads by default
+           on FreeBSD, and you need to build the prefork MPM.  If you wish
+           to try to make threads work on FreeBSD, they can be re-enabled
+           by using --enable-threads
