Comment (by kencu):

 python should test for pthread_threadid_np during it's configuration run,
 and set a define, perhaps called {{{HAVE_PTHREAD_THREADID_NP}}}.

 I suspect that might be done in this file:

 https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/configure.ac

 Then, if the function compiles, it can be used, otherwise it will not be
 used and a workaround might be used instead.

 This would be a proper, maintainable, solution that does not rely on
 fragile arch/system assumptions.
