The discussion at the time was that we didn't want to add a
libpq-specific CC just for Unixware, which we considered broken for not
having libpq dependency information in the library.

Now that we have two platforms that need this we might need to rethink
this, and think of a shortcut for 8.0 like we are already using for
Unixware.
