GCC documentation on thread-local variables says:

Is there any way to find out which platforms do support TLS and which
do not?
You can try it and see what happens. In what context are trying to find
out whether it works?
In general it should be supported on Linux kernels with version >= 2.6.0
and using a sufficiently recent glibc--I think 2.4 should suffice. It
should also work on sufficiently recent Solaris systems. I don't know
about other systems.
The question was more about exotic systems. If there's no list of
supported systems never mind, I'll just check manually.
