prctl() seems not to be portable and PR_SET_NAME is only available in kernels >2.6.9

Right. So we need proper detection of it's availability in configure.in. Anything similar to it in FreeBSD/Mac/Windows?

Windows uses SetThreadName, but it only works under debugging mode...
FreeBSD has pthread_set_name_np, though it seems it's a debugging interface too.
I have no clue about Mac.
