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++.
