This probably means that the spinlock support is not up to speed for
your platform.  It is strange though -- I think I've seen other people
using FreeBSD 7.  I don't see any on the buildfarm:
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl

It probably means you'll need to do some hacking to make it work again.
