Every recent *nix-like OS supports POSIX Threads, including Mac OS X/
Darwin. If pthreads aren't supported, most modern-ish programs won't
even compile, let alone function. On OS X pthreads are tightly
integrated with the C library (libc & libSystem), similar to NPTL and
glibc on Linux.

what happens under MacOSX to see if threads are supported.
This has been a very interesting and good discussion.
