That's why you put the code inside

  #ifdef __NR_gettid
  ...
  #endif

'man gettid' says

  In a multithreaded process, all threads have the same PID,
  but each one has a unique TID.

I've just tried:
====================================================
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *print(void *a) {
  printf("%u %ld %lu\n", getpid(), syscall(__NR_gettid), pthread_self());
  sleep(10);
}

main() {
  int i;
  pthread_t t;
  pthread_attr_t attr;
  pthread_attr_init(&attr);
  pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED);
  pthread_attr_setscope(&attr, PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM);

  for (i=0; i < 20; i++)
    pthread_create(&t, &attr, print, 0);

  print(0);
}
====================================================

for me all threads do have the same PID (I tried with and without attr).

That's not what I see.

====================================================
THREAD DISPLAY
       H      Show threads as if they were processes.

       -L     Show threads, possibly with LWP and NLWP columns.

       m      Show threads after processes.

       -m     Show threads after processes.

       -T     Show threads, possibly with SPID column.
====================================================

all these switches worked for me, showing threads and either showing
tid automatically (-L, -T) or when I requested it with -o tid.
