Well it does at Solaris 2.6

from man libpthread

SYNOPSIS
  POSIX
     cc [ flag ... ] file ...  -lpthread [  -lposix4
          library ... ]
     #include <pthread.h>

  Solaris
     cc [ flag ... ] file ...  -lthread [ library ... ]
     #include <thread.h>
     #include <sched.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Two threads libraries  are  available,  POSIX  and  Solaris.
     Both  implementations are interoperable, their functionality
     similar, and can be used within the same application.   How-
     ever, only POSIX threads are guaranteed to be fully portable
     to other POSIX-compliant environments.  As indicated by  the
     "Synopsis"  section  above,  their  use  requires  different
     source include files and different linking libraries.
