We have a complete gcc manual in HTML in !GCC (accessible via !Help).  The
2nd last section in that manual is titled 'Option index' where you can find
the explanation on the -pthread option.

This option is a target specific option for SPARC, RS/6000 and IA-64.
It is irrevalant (and hence, unexisting) for the ARM target.

POSIX(ish) pthread support is standard when UnixLib runtime library
is selected, unsupported when the SCL runtime library is used (for obvious
reasons).
