I had a similar issue several months ago.  One _could_ go grubbing 
through the internal GThread datastructures, or further extend the 
GThread abstractoins (in my case I wanted CPU binding) but what I 
ended-up doing was inserting a shim routine in my thread launch path. 
When I started threads, they would make a platform-specific call to get 
the "native" thread ID and store that away, then execute the "real" 
thread start routine.

What I did should be somewhere in:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf4/trunk/src/

I think it will be in netlib.c - the routine is called "launch_pad"
