All,

I've been working on TLS for ia64 and powerpc and a quick check on
sparc64 shows that there's still a lot of work that needs to be done
before TLS works on sparc64. Is someone working on it or does someone
have some patches lying around from previous attempts?

It might be a good idea to get some of the work done (such as support
for TLS specific relocations in RTLD) to avoid falling back too much.
