Do you have any opinons on if or how to support thread local storage (TLS)
support (via the __thread keyword)?
I'm under the vague impression it just goes into another ELF section, but I
don't know the details.
No, it needs a relocation entry of type R_386_TLS_LE (for the object file) or
R_386_TLS_TPOFF (for a shared object). Of course, before, the variable access
has to be constructed to use %gs relative addresses. So the code generation
path would have to be changed for that as well.
And I guess idealy the internal linker would need to deal with this as well.
