Well yes, but first would be getting the toolchain to emit

It'd help but the linker is where all the action happens..
Marcel seems to understand this quite well.
I can give the ld.so work a shot if someone gives me a general
idea of how to get at the linker sets and registers in C code.
WHen you have read and understood the document that describes the __thread
implementation then I guess the next step would be to read and understand
ld (and the rt version).
It would be nice if it worked with libc_r as well, is there
any chance for that? Webstone doesn't need kernel threads
really... the relatively lightweight nature of libc_r doing
strictly network IO makes it an attractive solution for what
I'm trying to accomplish.
Once it has been done for libpthread then it is almost free for libc_r
because in libc_r we can set %gx once and forget it and just change the
address it points to whenever we schedule a different thread.
