Either way it's broken. The local pthread variable doesn't
exist anymore when this function returns - whatever the
return value points to can be overwritten at any time.
If you make it static the function is no longer re-entrant,
and clearly in a multi-threading context it has to be.

This is not a solution. The solution is to make whatever code
that uses pthread_t not to depend on its size.
