I still think it is confusing to create a libpq_r on platforms that have
no _r libraries. I am on BSD/OS and I can find only _r library on my
entire system, and guess who make that one:

/usr/contrib/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a

and they actually have two different libraries:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 144471 Jun 5 2001 /usr/contrib/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0*
