Bug#309193: /usr/bin/gcc: at runtime, TLS does not work, but at compile time, __thread does not give an error

["Jeroen N. Witmond" <jnw@xs4all.nl>]

Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-12
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gcc

In the configure.in for the program I am working on, the reaction of
the compiler to the __thread keyword is used to determine the
availability of TLS. However, the compiler does not complain but the
variables marked with __thread are not local to the thread.
