So how about a runtime test for what's actually important (and it's not Monterey!)?

if (sizeof(threadid) <= sizeof(long)) return (long)threadid; End of problem, right? It's a cheap runtime test in a function whose speed isn't critical anyway.

Note that this is what autoconf is for. It also helps to group all that behaviour-testing code together, in one big lump noone pretends to understand ;)
