In RTEMS, pthread support is part of librtemscpu.a.

That's the problem: RTEMS's pthreads are supported for embedded targets
only, but not with the unix/posix BSP.

Yes. -lpthread will pickup the linux-pthreads. This will not work with
RTEMS's unix/posix.

ATM, there is no way to use RTEMS pthreads with target linux.
