Please, anyone who has time and hardware, look at (and fix) branches/kse in P4. I have typed in stubs for most architectures but the only non-i386 arch which is even close to compiling is ia64. The document http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tls.pdf is an invaluable source for the details of TLS on any particular architecture. There are simple test cases in tools/regression/tls. I believe that with the new binutils and existing compiler, support should be possible for i386, ia64 and amd64. The others probably need gcc 3.4.home | help
