Yes, in theory, there should be no difference. But try to compile
a shared library that links to libwine and use pthread functions,
without linking with libpthread. This worked with wine 9.12.2003,
but not anylonger. I had to use some crazy hacks on wine to make vstserver
compile for about a year ago or something. And later it got worse
(unable to compile). The way wine/winemaker constantly changes is so
tiresome that I just don't want to touch it anymore. (Perhaps thing have
got better now, though.)
