If your multi-threaded application is a GUI based application, you will 
want to consider using one of the API compatibility libraries that are 
out there. Bristol Technologies used to have a quite functional API at 
the Windows 95 version of the Windows APIs. There have been others.

For threading of non-GUI apps, a more straightforward path might be 
possible. Consult the pthreads man pages "man -k pthread".

You may want to investigate the redhat-developers list (at 
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/, or the comp.lang.c++ 
Usenet newsgroup at news://comp.lang.c++.
