It has definitely worked with WinCE in the past following Tristan 
Savatier's patches, and the last updates relating to WinCE were in 2007, 
but I don't know any more than this. So there is a very good chance it 
will work for you with little or no change. See the link for background 
information:

http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pthreads/WinCE-PORT?rev=1.5&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=pthreads-win32

You will ahve to build from source though.

Incidently, while I was gathering the above information I noticed that 
several ChangeLog entries had gone missing, which I've now restored. The 
ChangeLog is an important means of attributing contributions, so my 
apologies to those contributors.
