No doubt because it's one of those platforms where shared libraries
don't carry their own dependency information. AFAICS, PTHREAD_LIBS is
not propagated into the link lines of pg_ctl or any of the other
programs that use libpq, so the only place where the linker would find
out about it is if the info is embedded in libpq.so.
