> But! I suppose we could fix the bug only for platforms with PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT.

Yes, this is my proposal.

>> I propose to cast pthread_key_create() result to int, but only define PyThread_create_key() in Python/thread_pthread.h if PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is defined.

> 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.

Which API change? I don't propose to modify the existing public C API "int PyThread_create_key(void)". I only propose to change it's implementation to the native pthread API when PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is defined.
