I have a potential alternate fix: using
register pthread_t self __asm__("$3");
and "=r"(self) as the constraint. This should work on any gcc version
without incurring the extra cost of the clang-workaround. And it will
work with clang too if they ever fix their register allocator to work
with this kind of code.
Can you confirm whether or not it works?
