Hmmm, I didn't realize is was quite that bad:

\begin{verbatim}
u2% more tls.c
#include <stdio.h>

int __thread i = 4;

int
main()
{
         printf("%d\n", i);
         return (0);
}
\end{verbatim}

u2% cc -o tls tls.c
/usr/bin/ld: /var/tmp//ccDb7raY.o: check_relocs: unhandled reloc type 72
/var/tmp//ccDb7raY.o: could not read symbols: File format not recognized
