Yeah. Unfortunately the maintainer decided that they were outdated and 
so instead of updating them or placing a note in the man pages saying 
"These are outdated", he decided to simply remove them completely.
You will have to use the info pages for libc to find POSIX threads.
The man pages are on the web, but that isn't nearly as nice as having 
what every other frickin' distro has. I sent an email to the glibc list 
and saw that some people submitted the missing man pages as a bug, but I 
haven't seen anything done about that.
So in short, you have to use 'info libc' or use the web to find the man 
pages.
