k, I just looked at the template/unixware file myself, and it looks to me
like -Kpthread is already defined, and included as part of THREAD_CPPFLAGS
... is THREAD_CPPFLAGS not honor'd in all of the various Makefile's (ie.
initdb?) ...

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but so far, the issue seems to be
that now that libpq uses pthread_* by default, Unixware requires -Kpthread
to be used when building all the various support programs that use libpq
... and -Kpthread is defined in template/unixware ... so I'm *really*
confused as to what is actually broken, except maybe the Makefile's
themselves ...
