This sounds like the problem I just solved late yesterday, except that I'm
seeing it manifest itself in ecpglib with C programs build using ecpg. I had
absolutely no error handling. The error flag was never set. I put some
debug code into the various library functions and found it was setting the
error code in sqlca - but in a different copy of sqlca than was active.

The root problem turns out to be that configure is setting -pthread instead
of -lpthread in config.status. I manually changed the config.status line

s,@THREAD_LIBS@,-pthread,;t t

To

s,@THREAD_LIBS@,-lpthread,;t t

And everything appears to be working now. I don't see -D_REENTRANT being
set, but everything appears to work now.

Let me know if this solves your test case also.
