What about calling TM directly? Something like this:

uses cthreads;
var
  TM: TThreadManager;
begin
  TM := Default(TThreadManager); // just hiding hint 'variable TM doesn't
seem to be initialized'
  GetThreadManager(TM);
  IsMultiThread := TM.InitManager;
...
end.

I can't test it now (I would like to debug it asap), but I think FPC offer
some option to start the TM without starting a new -- dummy -- thread. o.O
