Well, I've managed to figure out my ___tls_get_addr problem. It appears to
act as a result of those features of TLS currently implemented into the
compiler and a configure test for the "new pthread library" or nptl for
short. The configure script detects the ability to use __thread to declare
thread-local variables and determines from this that nptl should be used.
Of course, we're not ready for nptl, so --with-nptl=no needs to be set
to override what the tests determine.
