No, since I believe the intention is that it *is* intended to be supported 
on other systems, but is missing documentation.  (And some systems may 
inconsistently use the spelling -pthreads, a generic option (with docs 
moved to a generic section and a note that this option is only supported 
on some targets) should have a fixed spelling (or remap one to the other 
so both work on all systems).)
