Posix clocks are in librt, and librt depends on libpthread; so pthreads come
for free in this case.  Yes, if you just want pthreads you can just link to
libpthread.

I guess I wasn't explicit enough in describing why I need which external
library; but the larger issue of how to deal with external libraries remains
a question mark.
