I can't see how it would work at all for this as it sends a signal to 
another process, not to another thread in the same process, which is 
what pthread_kill does.

Note that pthread_cancel does exist on VMS and might be an alternative:

$ help posix pthread pthread_cancel

POSIX_Threads

  PTHREAD_routines

    pthread_cancel

         Allows a thread to request a thread to terminate execution.
