I would argue my mails have shown that I have realized that. Now I asked especially about "portable" libraries and what to use from them. As pointed out glib2 does not have an idea of some unique thread id (AFAIU) but as someone else has posted this might be different in libapr. So my question was on the point.

Well everyone here using threads must decide on this and so it's quite possible that someone has checked the available alternatives.
