* On x86, use thread-local storage instead of stealing a reg for gct
Ignore-this: b132a4c2f56a955adb8537442ca8eb0f
Benchmarks show that using TLS instead of stealing a register is
better by a few percent on x86, due to the lack of registers.
This only affects -threaded; without -threaded we're (now) using
static storage for the GC data.
