Did you look at the patch?  To support it would require us to use a
special CC setting for all cases where we are linking to a threaded
libpq.  I don't think we want to add that ugliness to our code just to
support it, just like we didn't do a similar change to support threading
on unixware.

If we wanted to support it we could easily do so by using PTHREAD_CC in
all the bin makefiles and other places that link to libpq.
