It's good to know that there are problems on ARM, but now I'm not sure what to do about committing the updated malloc. I don't have the time or the hardware to make TLS reliable on ARM. Do I commit the malloc patch and let someone who cares about ARM fix TLS after the fact? Or do I wait an indefinite amount of time to let solid TLS support materialize? I'm working on this issue. I hope it will be resolved in a matter of days.
