Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
pthread is used in jdk/src/solaris/bin/java_md.c and jdk/src/solaris/transport/socket/socket_md.c on all POSIX platforms exception Solaris. We can modify the current code to "#ifdef __Solaris__ ... #else ... #end" to make it portable to other platforms.

JUSTIFICATION :
It can be easily ported to BSD/MAC/AIX.

EVALUATION Sounds good for the launcher, but there should be another bug for the networking team for socket_md.c
