You should make do without PR_GetThreadID().
The closest thing is PR_GetCurrentThread(), which
returns a pointer rather than an integer.

You can also easily write your own function that
returns the native thread ID.  You do need to make
a non-portable assumption that pthread_t is either
an integer or a pointer.  The POSIX threads standard
allows pthread_t to be a struct, but in practice it is
almost always an integer or a pointer.
