If it is the default, libpq is going to use the libc_r library, at least
on some platforms, and that may not be desired. Fortunately, the flag
has no effect on the backend code.
One funny thing is that on BSD/OS and NetBSD, because there are no
thread compile flags, function names, or libraries, libpq is the same
code with or without the flag. ecpg, however, has thread calls, and is
effected on every platform.
