I just tried it myself (again) to be really sure. It (the multithread.c
example) works nicely on my Solaris 7 machine. I doubt Solaris 8 works a lot
different in this aspect.

My guess (since you don't provide enough info): you're not providing the
proper libraries (like -lpthread) to ld when you link the tool.

So, implementing your own http client, while fun to do, will not change
anything but will only show you the same problem but with a lot more work...
