I need a version of glibc that uses the GS segment register to access pthread-local storage*. I've neither been able to find one for debian nor is it obvious to me from looking through the sources how to compile it to use %gs. Any suggestions welcomed. I currently have kernel 2.4.18, libc6 version 2.2.5-14.3 on ia32 (pentium 3). TIA Richard * Why? Because the Jikes RVM requires this (and a 2.4 kernel).
