I believe the reason we had that check in the first place was because for both `pthread_setname_np` and `pthread_getname_np` man says:
```
CONFORMING TO
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the names.
```
However, this `is_gnu` check was never consistently applied; it was
missing in `setName` in the Linux case. It is also missing on all other call sites for other platforms (macOS, iOS, et al.).
Though, that could be because it may only apply to Linux.
I think for a best-effort approach it is okay to drop this. It's probably less non-standard than man makes it out to be.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
