I doubt that.  libthread is just a historical artifact, and has been
that way since fairly early in OpenSolaris development due to Roger
Faulkner's merge.  Everything it used to do is now in libc.  As the man
page says:

     Historically, functions in libthread provided threading sup-
     port. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).

Instead of static imports, it might be interesting to use LD_DEBUG to
find out what things are loaded at run time ... or not loaded.
