Description

In OpensslSecureRandom.c you use Linux-specific syscall gettid():
static unsigned long pthreads_thread_id(void)
{
return (unsigned long)syscall(SYS_gettid);
}

Man page says:
gettid() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs that are
intended to be portable.

This breaks hadoop-2.6.0 compilation on FreeBSD (may be on other OSes too).
