The SYS_xxxx defines contain the numbers of system calls on Linux. They're used mostly when making raw system calls through the syscall(2) wrapper instead of the usual glibc wrapper functions. In the case of gettid(), glibc doesn't contain a wrapper for the system call, so it has to be called manually.

I think you can use FreeBSD's package (see here). FreeBSD has packages for ARM (check http://pkg.freebsd.org/) - since 11.0.
