Seems we have a few options for making threaded libpq on Unixware:
o remove thread-safe SIGPIPE code, which calls thread library
o create a threaded and non-threaded libpq library
o add a libpq function that enables threading, and do dynamic
linking of thread calls based on that function
o Add thread flags to all builds on that platform, including
the backend
o Add the ability to specify compile/link flags for everything
but the backend
As I remember, libcrypt used to be required by all libpq builds on
various platforms. This seems to be a similar case.
I think the last option might be the best. Somehow create different
cppflags/libs for the backend and non-backend programs.
