Yea, we needed this problem report during beta, not RC.
I added this to Makefile.unixware long ago:
# Unixware needs threads for everything that uses libpqCFLAGS += $(PTHREAD_CFLAGS)
I said if we found another platform that had a similar limitation we
would fix it more thoroughly, but I needed to fix it earlier to get into
8.0.
However, one thing we can do is to try this in Makefile.aix:
# AIX needs threads for everything that uses libpqLIBS += $(PTHREAD_LIBS)
That is going to enable thread libs for all linking including the
backend, but it might work.
Unixware found that doing this for the backend brought out threading OS
bugs and it was useless but AIX might be better.
