We sometimes deal with code bases which use static local variables to cut

Hmm, since you mentioned bad for thread safety but then I see in your
patch you don't check to see if the variable is a thread local
variable. Maybe you should not mention thread safety at all here or
change the code not to include TLS variables.
Good point. What about this instead?
Warn for variables declared inside functions which are static, but not
declared const. Such local variables can make functions not reentrant.
