That got rid of all warnings. Although, it still fails to compile due
to gethostbyname_r:

thread.c:141: too many arguments to function `gethostbyname_r'

hpux 10.20, hpux 11 and aix (maybe more) use a 3 argument version, not 5:

int
gethostbyname_r(const char *name, struct hostent *result,
struct hostent_data *buffer);

I supplied a patch that includes a configure check. NOTE: the hpux
platform check at the top of thread.c may not be cross-compiler, I think
they are from gcc. Does the postgresql config system define platform
somewhere so I can #ifdef PG_HPUX?
