GCC 4.4.0, mips-sgi-irix6.5 and pthread - MORE

[Tovrea, George W (US SSA)]

Hmmmm. I guess someone forgot to update the online gcc manual. All I see at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Option-Index.html#Option-Index is

pthread: SPARC Options 
pthread: RS/6000 and PowerPC Options 
pthreads: SPARC Options

No mention of Irix or Linux.

That is not correct.  The -pthreads (note final 's') option is only
valid for Solaris.  The -pthread option is valid on many systems,
including Irix and GNU/Linux.
