Hi,

I was porting my framework to Cygwin and noticed that pthread_t is a 
typedef of a void pointer.

According to "The Single UNIX Specification, Version 2" and "IEEE Std 
1003.1-2001" pthread_t must be defined as an arithmetic type (i.e. 
either a floating-point type or an integral type). The pointer type is 
NOT an arithmetic type even though some arithmetic operators may be 
applied to a pointer.
