People may have disappeared from glibc development who have objected to gettid. I thought this was the case with strlcpy/strlcat, but it was not. At present, it takes one semi-active glibc contributor to block addition of a system call. The process to override a sustained objection has never been used successfully, and it is a lot of work to get it even started. Thanks, Florian
