I do know there are configure tests built for UnixWare's pthreads, but I 
don't know where.  I have seen them invoked as I've compiled stuff.

Also, once you compile a piece with -Kpthread you must compile ALL of it 
with -Kpthread.

You are welcome to read the UnixWare docs at http://www.lerctr.org:8458/ or 
on the SCO site.
