Sorry, but can you elaborate? I can't see any need with the above reasoning. I managed to find your original post (amazingly hard when you're in digest mode and the post has an empty subject!) and I think the responses in this thread have demonstrated that there is no need for a libpq_r.so, but there is need for a libecpg_r.so I guess we're going to have get down to the code level to demonstrate this! If you compile a example library with _REENTRANT and use _r functions and the function version of errno then it can be used no problem by a library compiled without _REENTRANT and expecting errno to be an int... Unfortunately i'm leaving on holiday tonight until Monday so will not be able to get the example done...
