That will be a POLA (principle of least astonishment) violation on
UnixWare.
When we have the capability to do dual library builds, we might have a
way to specify a threading flag that will apply to the main libpq and
not create a libpq_r.  If it is a good flag, can we use it in the
template file for all compiling?
I **THINK** so.  What I'm thinking of is -D_REENTRANT for UnixWare 
especially for libpq.

the --with-threads would cause ecpg to be compiled/linked as -lpthread in 
addition to
-D_REENTRANT
