Okay, so it seems -D_REENTRANT is the appropriate fix.
We could either add that to the template/solaris file, or just add a
note to FAQ_Solaris advising that it be added to the configure switches
if people intend to use libpq in threaded programs. Is there any
cost or downside to just adding it always in template/solaris?
