Right.  but libpq should be built with -D_REENTRANT on UnixWare
regardless  of the
--with-threads.

Well, let's see what additional functionality we need. I am not feeling too friendly on SCO/Unixware right now to jump through hoops.
Let's not go there. I'm not involved in the IP fight, but I am a USER on that
platform, and SCO is thinking ****SERIOUSLY**** about shipping PG on the Platform
as part of their extensions offering.


What the fr*** harm is it in passing -D_REENTRANT into the libpq build on UnixWare
irregardless of the --with-threads* flag?


Same argument for allowing the PORT to determine whether to allow/permit the full
pathname in for DT_SONAME.


Let's not run people off because of what the damn lawyers are doing.
