I don't think that's a good idea. Changing API, even for platforms that aren't 
officially supported, sounds very harsh this late in the release cycle.

But! I suppose we could fix the bug only for platforms with 
PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT. Other platforms would keep the current 
implementation -- they'd still have the bug, but the API would stay unchanged.
