llvm dev - Apr 2007 - [LLVMdev] LLVM and TLS

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a toolchain for arm-linux-gnueabi using the
llvm-gcc. To do this, I made some changes in crosstool 0.42.

Everything goes fine until llvm-gcc tries to compile the glibc.
llvm-gcc can't compile glibc because it doesn't support TLS (Thread
Local Storage).

I know there is a bug report about TLS (PR941). Is there someone
implementing TLS in LLVM and llvm-gcc? If not, I will implement this.

I don't believe anyone is working on TLS support.  It would be great if 
you wanted to work on this!

Cool. Will this make it possible to compile (parts of) glibc to LLVM  
bytecode? Or am I msitaking?
