The project you're talking about is using non-portable method of dealing with pthreads. Pthread interface doesn't specify an internal structure of pthread primitives, so their actual implementation may vary (and does vary) between different systems. You should ask YahooPOPs people to use portable constructs so that their code can be compiled on any system which supports pthread interface.
