pthreads and GCC

Does anyone know whether pthreads can work in principle with GCC?

On 5.1B with gcc 3.2.3, it fails because pthread.h has an explicit
check for the compiler, which excludes gcc. This wasn't a problem at
some stage, probably because an older gcc used a fixed version of the
header, but I don't have previous versions around to check. Also, I
can't see a relevant entry in the gcc changelog.
