I just recently ported PhysX to build on Emscripten after the removal of
syscalls. You see there that there's posix-specific paths that can be used
instead, which Emscripten likes better. Instead of syscall(SYS_gettid) ,
you can call pthread_self(), and Emscripten does not have a concept of
thread affinity, so that can be commented out (behave like the Apple/Qnx
path).
