Hello again :). This is embarrassing, but I finally find the difference between libpthread.a and libwinpthread.a. They are 99.9%(you could say 100%) identically. The only difference is that libwinpthread.a is more compressed. I tried to compile the winpthread-code with make-command. And then I install it with "make install" command. But if I instead install it with "make install-strip" it will install an a-file without symbols table. With the exact same result as the already installed a-files. So...

I downloaded the installer for mingw-w64 from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/installer/ Then I choose posix and x64. Then the installer downloaded the gcc 7.1.0 toolchain. I double checked and I compared again the static library versions of those files(libpthread.a and Libwinpthread.a.) Different sizes. And with a hex editor I found several names of c-files(for an example mutex.c and nanosleep.c) inside libpthread.a...

Thank you :). I prefer mingw-w64, but tdm is nice too. But why is libpthread a bigger file compare to libwinpthread? And if they are the same, why not just include one of them? Sorry for my questions, but I like to learn new things :). Yes I'm using winpthreads and downloaded the posix-version. After g++ I write - lwinpthread and other stuff that I need to compile.
