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

I am running debian/sarge (Linux DoornRoosje 2.4.26-1-386 #1 Tue Aug 24
13:31:19 JST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux). The versions of gcc and libgcc1 are in
my previous mail. Where can I find if Debian supports TLS on this
platform?

Also, can you point me to a better way to test for TLS?

Thanks,

Jeroen.
