You mean getting rid of __tls_beg and __tls_end? I'd also like to remove those, but:
__tls_beg and __tls_end is not used by Mac OS X any more: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/commit/73cf2c150665cb17d9365a6e3d6cf144d76312d6 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/054c525edba048ad7829dd5ec2d8d9261a6517c3
TLS is mostly object-format specific (not as much OS specific). The ELF implementation lays out the TLS data for a module (module = shared library or the application) in a contiguous way. The details are described in "ELF Handling For Thread-Local Storage" (www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf).
Mac OS X 10.7 + supports TLS natively. But I don't know where to find documentation about it. It always possible to look at the source code.
