[Pkg-giraffe-maintainers] Bug#875456: libvmime: FTBFS on non-Linux: no getThreadId implementation

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: libvmime
Version: 0.9.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of libvmime 0.9.2 for kFreeBSD and the Hurd (admittedly not
release architectures) have been failing:

  /«PKGBUILDDIR»/src/vmime/platforms/posix/posixHandler.cpp:243:3: error: #error We have no implementation of getThreadId() for this platform!

I'm not sure offhand if either has anything quite like Linux's gettid,
but perhaps pthread_self can suffice for libvmime's purposes.  (If so,
you'd want to widen getThreadId's return type to uintptr_t and cast
pthread_self's return value accordingly.)

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
