that readline must depend on libcurses, but it seems more recent ones
use libtermcap instead.  Allow that case.

reliably (ie, regardless of which libraries they depend on).  Also
make sure that we don't select headers that obviously belong to the
wrong one of the two libraries.  This was discussed back around 4-Sep
but seems to have slipped through the cracks.  The header selection
could be checked more closely, perhaps, but let's see if this is good
enough.

compiler emits any warnings, the test program had better be 100%
correct, not only 90% correct.  The recent addition of -Wold-style-definition
broke thread-safety detection on every platform that has that switch,
because the test program used an old-style definition.

  -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith

Check whether the version of GCC we are using supports any of:

  -Wdeclaration-after-statement
  -Wendif-labels
  -Wold-style-definition

And add the supported flags to CFLAGS.

-L spec rather than assuming libpython is in the standard search path
(this returns to the way 7.4 did it).  But check the distutils output
to see if it looks like Python has built a shared library, and if so
link with that instead of the probably-not-shared library found in
configdir.

# MinGW uses '%I64d', though gcc throws an warning with -Wall,
# while '%lld' doesn't generate a warning, but doesn't work.

they are flex.  Clean up after them.

hardwiring IFS=: when searching paths.

test only tests for building a binary, not building a shared library.

On Linux, you can build a binary with -pthread, but you can't build a
binary that uses a threaded shared library unless you also use -pthread
when building the binary, or adding -lpthread to the shared library
build.  This patch has the effect of doing the later by adding both
-pthread and -lpthread when building libpq.

some massaging by Peter Eisentraut.  This is basically a simple
generalization of the existing contrib makefiles.

macros provided by the real libtool, when other packages borrow some macros
from PostgreSQL, as in the case of the ODBC driver.

for all ports.  It can't hurt if they are not supported, but it makes
our job easier for porting.

Should fix Darwin compile and other platforms without mucking with the
thread detection code.

Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.

Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new
configure script.

Backpatch to 7.4.X.  Required for Solaris 7 & 8.
