no, that's exactly what i was after. i built a cross-compile
toolchain using crosstool and, during the step of building the glibc
headers, what i got was:
...
running configure fragment for sysdeps/x86_64/elf
checking for x86-64 TLS support... no <--------- dang!
running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/pthread
...
which produced numerous subsequent instances of:
...
In file included from include/tls.h:6,
from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/sysdep.h:26,
from <stdin>:1:
nptl/sysdeps/x86_64/tls.h:62:3: error: #error "TLS support is required."
...
but the build finished and i got what appears to be a functioning
toolchain. now i just want to see what the state of TLS support is,
and try to figure out how to get around that error.
