However, _REENTRANT is not a Solarisism... On all (recent) UNIX
systems it toggles on correct handling for thread specific instances
of historically global variables (eg errno). It should be considered
for all platforms if libpq is intended to be used from threaded
programs.

You'll probably find Tomas's code breaks on Linux too...
