Thats simply not true. It is NOT the ONLY way, sorry. Just a sample
from C++ standard (=A725.4):

extern "C" void qsort(void* base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,
                        int (*compar)(const void*, const void*));

extern "C++" void qsort(void* base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,
                          int (*compar)(const void*, const void*));

Another solution could be to make pthread_create not extern "C" in
header (just default) and provide two version of it in the library -
one for C and one for C++. And thats need to be done only in compiler
where C++ and C functions use different calling conventions.
