I'd LIKE to be able to have PG wrappers for those functions, and have the first invocation of them look via dlsym() for the real ones, and if they are NOT there, use fake functions that assume we are NOT threaded.
Wouldn't it be easier to have a #define?
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the problem is that we are expecting thread functinos to be called x_, while Unixware defines them as pthread_, right? so make Unixware specific #defines that map x_ to pthread_ ...
On UnixWare, to get the pthread_* functions, you need to invoke a compiler option (-Kpthread), to cause libpthread to be linked in.
Since libpq.so now REQUIRES the function, we need to either:
1) force ANY program that uses libpq to be compiled/linked with -Kpthread
or
2) dynamically determine if libpthread is loaded and use the real pthread_*
functions if they are there (libpthread is in the image), or use fake
singlethread versions of the pthread_* calls if libpthread is NOT in the image.
