Navadvipa confirmed privately that it was the EDB installer (via
postgresql.org) and it's clearly the pthread.h from
https://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/. CCing Sandeep who might know
who to ask why that's being installed and check if it's a mistake.
Nothing in PostgreSQL itself should need <pthread.h> on Windows AFAIK
(I think that changed some time around 2007, commit 96b17190?).
