It was probably dropped as irrelevant because TLS emulation went into 4.3 instead, as foreshadowed by Richard Henderson's reply in that thread. The emutls patch implements the "__thread" extension for targets that do not have the ELF style TLS but which do supply __gthread_{get,set}specific implementations in their threading model, such as pthreads. So threadprivate ought to work on 4.3 as long as the target's threading model is POSIX or any other one that does provide those. Brian
