I think you have to remove this from libgc's configure script. You
should be able to do a case statement, and match on freebsd.

I saw this, too, when I was testing an earlier version of mono. I had
actually enabled some additional options thinking they would help, but
it turned out to be a bad idea.
See if you can hunt down the TLS options in libgc's configure, and
remove them.
