If someone needs a portable and lightweight solution for threading in C, take a look at the plibsys library. It provides you thread management and synchronization, as well as other useful features like portable socket implementation.

On every platform only the native calls are used to minimize the overheads. The library is fully covered with Unit tests which are run on a regular basis.
