There are no more guarantees with the GDI area than with anything else. Microsoft is free to change that whenever they feel like it.
Negative offsets could work, but they would waste a full page of memory for each thread since the TEB has to be page-aligned. I'd stronly recommend finding a way to use the glibc threading support instead.
As I keep saying, we need a solution that works on platforms that don't support __thread.
For these older versions of Linux, can't you just keep doing things as you do now?
I suspect most of the old versions of Linux you're worried about will vanish from user's desktops fairly quickly as soon as Linux distributions ship versions that include the current suite of improvements. (Not that people will kill for the new glibc, but there are a whole lot of improvements in font handling and desktop apps coming out shortly.)
