[Libreoffice] [PUSHED] Some OSL cleanup

[Arnaud Versini]

Hello,

I think these system requirements for LibreOffice imply to have a valid
implementation of getpid() :

   - Linux kernel version 2.6.18 or higher; -> clone() for NTPL
   - glibc2 version 2.5 or higher; -> NPTL

With these two requirements on Linux, we have NPTL and a good version of
getpid, wich return one PID by process.

Thanks
