>Description:
	FreeBSD's gcc.info does not contain documentation about -pthread
	as the FreeBSD gcc.1 man page does.

	Then there's the issue of some headers using _REENTRANT and
	some using _THREAD_SAFE (but see bin/36167 for a separate bug on
	that issue)

>How-To-Repeat:
	man gcc
	search for -pthread
	observe positive match

	info gcc
	search for -pthread
	... nope
>Fix:

	Update gcc.info to match the man page with respect to -pthread.

	Possibly update the docs to describe _REENTRANT as well pending
	the fix for bin/36167.
