I support the addition of gettid (for use with those syscalls that take 
tids, and with appropriate documentation explaining the properties of 
tids) - and, generally, wrappers for all non-obsolescent 
architecture-independent Linux kernel syscalls, including ones that are 
very Linux-specific, except maybe for a few interfaces fundamentally 
inconsistent with glibc managing TLS etc. - they are, at least, no worse 
as a source of APIs than all the old BSD / SVID interfaces we have from 
when those were used as sources of APIs.
