It should work. That's why I asked you for a test case. > Also, can you point me to a better way to test for TLS? TLS can be a runtime property, not a compile time one. Runtime tests are seriously unwise in autoconf, though, so a compiler check is probably OK. For instance, on MIPS the linker may be built with TLS support but the kernel may be missing the relevant trap handler. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
