Threads support and pthreads

Are guile threads compatible with pthreads? IOW, does using guile
preclude use of pthreads elsewhere in my code, or will it work if I
confine Guile access to one of my pthreads?

I take it from the discussion that they're not really the same animal
(guile-threads and pthreads); there's discussion of guile code
controlling thread switching, which implies that they explicitly yield
control, right?

I don't need an elaborate answer - just a general idea so I don't
design badly.

Thanks.
