Sorry, but welcome to the modern world.  On most platforms -pthread
does nothing useful except -lpthread.  It also defines -D_REENTRANT,
and on GNU/Linux this flag does nothing at all.

On some other operating systems (Solaris maybe?) it does more.  In that
case using -pthread is correct, or defining the relevant options (found
in the system documentation) yourself.
