Scratch that, you are passing the fd by pointer not by value, which is
questionable practice for a value on the function stack.

What is usually done when you need to pass integers to threads as
paramters is to cast the integer to a type with the same width as a
pointer then casting it to a void*, which is (void*)(intptr_t)fd in this
case.
