You mean you can't use libc? Are you sure that it's easier to reimplement
all the stuff from libc rather than just fix your link problem? But if
you do want to reimplement libc, then yes, the best way is probably to
grab libc and steal the code wholesale. (Assuming, of course, that the
result will be GPLed.) Reimplementing everything will almost assuredly
give you a less reliable product with more bugs.

Then, like I said, the only reasonable way to do this is to manage your
own thread identification using a global variable and a mutex. It's
ridiculous to ask the kernel to give you the specific thread numbering
scheme that you want just because another operating system does so. You
can't change every OS you ever port your program to.

Part of porting is changing pieces of code that make non-portable
assumptions. Sorry, but it goes with the territory.
