I don't really understand why you cannot define your own tls_callbacks_a to do what you want. Incorporate it in your code, and the one from snn.lib will not be linked in.

The way I see it, we can do three things:

a) Do something similar to what mingw is doing:
http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-crt/crt/tlssup.c?revision=4739&view=markup
(line 44 to 57). This is problematic because we're going to need a
pragma in D to place data in the right place.
b) Use a callback registration mechanism. That is, snn.lib defines a
global handler that it emits to _tls_used. When this handler is
called, it will enumerate and call all registered callbacks. So we
would need to expose two functions to register and deregister
callbacks.
c) The really dirty way: Add a linker flag that lets you overwrite the
symbol regardless of previous different definitions.

Any thoughts on what would be best?
