Oh, yes.  Do you get undefined symbols that should come either from libthr or libc?
I had to dump gcc44 specs file (-dumpspecs), then find a line that defines
pthread option expansion and add shared clause the same as !shared clause there.
And then I modified make.conf to use the new specs file for gcc44:
CFLAGS+=	-specs=/home/avg/devel/gcc/gcc44.specs

This is a problem that upstream GCC has incorrect specs for -pthread option.

To better see what I mean do:
$ gcc -dumpspecs | fgrep -w pthread
and
$ gcc44 -dumpspecs | fgrep -w pthread
