Consider working that into your commit message.

I guess you're talking about the qemu_thread_create() in
qemu_signalfd_compat().  Correct?

No, that won't work.

According to MS docs, _beginthreadex() sets errno on failure:

    If successful, each of these functions returns a handle to the newly
    created thread; however, if the newly created thread exits too
    quickly, _beginthread might not return a valid handle. (See the
    discussion in the Remarks section.) On an error, _beginthread
    returns -1L, and errno is set to EAGAIN if there are too many
    threads, to EINVAL if the argument is invalid or the stack size is
    incorrect, or to EACCES if there are insufficient resources (such as
    memory). On an error, _beginthreadex returns 0, and errno and
    _doserrno are set.

https://docs.microsoft.com/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/beginthread-beginthreadex

Looks like the current code's use of GetLastError() after
_beginthreadex() failure is wrong.

Fix that, and both qemu_thread_create() implementations set errno on
failure, which in turn lets you make qemu_signalfd_compat() and thus
qemu_signalfd() behave sanely regardless of which qemu_thread_create()
implementation they use below the hood.
