No sense.
Windows itself of course never uses _beginthreadex but always
CreateThread.

You aren't Windows, so you should use appropriate thread starting
function (depends on your environment). You almost never use
`CreateThread'.

CreateThread is perfectly fine in most situations. _beginthreadex is only
needed if

(1) The CRT is used from that thread.

AND

(2) The CRT is statically linked.
