Not according to the gcc developers. This was an issue discussed back when
deischen proposed to get rid of the -pthread option. It was strongly opposed
bu the gcc people because they wanted -pthread to be used so that gcc
would just DTRT.

There have been so many instances of ople attempting to mix the thread
libraries over the years, causing strange link senarios -- none of which
would have happeneded if -pthread had been used.
