Then that needs to be included in the analysis message starting the new 
thread - an explanation of why libinux-syscalls would not be appropriate 
for pthread_gettid_np.  (Note that the libinux-syscalls proposal is for a 
library built with glibc and possibly linked in through the libc.so linker 
script, not something third-party.)
