Doesn't look like a clash to me. :-) what DOES make sense however is to support the __thread concept, in a way that is efficient as it is not specific to one rather esoteric application. I for one have no objection to making sweeping changes if it looks as if __thread is going to solve problems for large numbers of applications. (though they may not be posix complient applications, it probably makes sense to support it if there are enough of them breaking the same rules.)
