I am unsure (it would be Linux2.6.mk with kernel != linux anyway).

The CHECK_FORK_GETPID implementation does not work for GNU/kFreeBSD
due to fact threads are process clones, i.e. the getpid() in all
threads does not return the same number.

With the patch which enabled CHECK_FORK_PTHREAD implementation,
the iceweasel/galeon is able to browse https sites.

As far as I understand, the NSS_NO_FORK_CHECK=1 would be possible
only on 3.12.4+ and it only dissables the checking.
Is there an easy way to prove that CHECK_FORK_PTHREAD
does what is expected for us ?
