	There was some discussion about adding a new namespace for -pthreads 
for gnu/open source pthread libraries.

Here's the first link:

	
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-06/msg00007.html

follow-up link:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-06/msg00012.html

	I am not sure if this addresses the specific question...it appears 
that gcc pthreads is non-platform dependent, though there are some 
targets (aix/hp-ux) that may choke on the current Gnu C pthread 
implementation.

	I also seem to remember something about the pthread library being 
required for Gnu C++.

	Peace,

		Paul G.
