There is still no reply from build infra project and even if it is in 
build infra, it will take a long time to merge back to trunk. But this 
including pthread problem really affects AIX platform. I'm thinking we 
can use #ifndef __solaris__ form because all other POSIX-conformant 
platforms (BSD, Mac, AIX, ...) except Solaris need to include pthread.h.
