But you didn't address the issue that you can't readily tell whether a program is multi-threaded. It may have had multiple threads but it doesn't now, or it may have more later. This may be true even though it's not linked to libpthread -- that library might not even exist on the OS in question, or it may be linked in static, or the program may simply call the kernel's "create me a thread" syscall.
