Yeah, there are plenty of situations where you end up with thread
support present somehow. So it may be a lost cause. I was mostly
concerned about this because it seemed like an unintentional change.
(I'm also still struggling to explain why mamba, with the *exact*
same NetBSD code on a different hardware platform, isn't showing
the same failures as chickadee. More news if I figure that out.)

I think that'd do for preventing side-effects on LIBS, but I'm not
sure if we'd have to back-fill something in pgbench's link options.
Anyway, as I said to Robert, I'm content to watch and wait for now.
