Posix Threads : Classic API works on posix bsp?

[sashti srinivasan]

 Hello,
 
      Thanks for clearing me.  My aim is to compare
 rtems with linux.  I want a platform in which both
 of them can run.  Hence I chose to compare rtems over
 linux(posix) with user-mode-linux over linux.  Since
 pthreads do not work on this BSP, I think, I have to
 use classic API only.  Please guide me on whether
 this works fine on posix BSP in same way as embedded
 targets.  Is there anything else that makes posix
 BSP differ significantly from others?
 
 With Regards
 Srinivasan
