`-mtp=NAME'
Specify the access model for the thread local storage pointer.
The valid models are `soft', which generates calls to
`__aeabi_read_tp', `cp15', which fetches the thread pointer from
`cp15' directly (supported in the arm6k architecture), and `auto',
which uses the best available method for the selected processor.
The default setting is `auto'.
