I believe you aren't allowed to call exit() after vfork (but should use
_exit() instead).

  This particular exit is OK, because it is in the error case.
It's the one below that is not OK.  Or rather, nothing is OK, because
the child process after a vfork is not supposed to do anything except
exec() or _exit() - it certainly shouldn't return from the function.
In fact, on Linux the parent process is suspended until the child either
_exit()s or exec()s, so it doesn't daemonize at all.

  I'm not sure how you can daemonize in a posixly-correct way on a NOMMU
target.  But since we're running on Linux, we can just use daemon(),
right?  Both glibc and uclibc define it AFAIK.

  Regards,
  Arnout

+Fix pthread link problem
+
+Some toolchains support linking against pthread by passing
+-pthread. For such toolchains, iperf was working because
+@PTHREAD_CFLAGS@ was used.
+
+However, some other toolchains (ex: Renesas 2010.09) requires passing
+-lpthread to link against the pthread library. And this was breaking
+in iperf because @PTHREAD_LIBS@ wasn't used. We fix this here.
