Building Thread-Safe on OS X

I followed the directions in the /src/tools/thread directory, ran the test

what values, so I didn't add any.

Can I assume that I have a thread-safe libpq, or is there something I am
missing?

Sorry, you need to add --enable-thread-safety to the configure run. In
7.5, you still need the flag, but all the testing is done automatically.

I did that--the only direction I didn't follow (because I wasn't sure what
was needed) was the following:
"add any THREAD_CPPFLAGS and THREAD_LIBS defines to your
template/${port} file"

Do you think I'm OK then?

If the test program ran OK with no flag, you should be OK.
