I want to use the __thread keyword gcc provides. I was told this was recently adjusted to work (at least in the private repository which I am using). It appears to be working when building for IA32 but when I compile the same program for amd64 I get a page fault when running it (it is a simple program just incrementing a __thread declared int).
It faults at 10010f4 (the first access of the variable).

Is TLS for amd64 supposed to work? Any idea on the problem?
It's currently only supposed to work on x86-32, other archs haven't been done yet.
This is unfortunate. Are there plans to fix this in the near future?
Yes, but no promises on the when.
