1)	It works with libc_r, but not with libthr and not
	with libkse.

2)	The %gs register is not used by libc_r, but is used
	for threads context for the other two.

3)	Most of the other code is shared between the libraries.

Draw your own conclusions... 8-).  Also read the recent post
about nVidia to the threads list about %gs.
