I suppose that the goal is to be able to compile multithread-aware programs on
platforms that do not support threads. Since there is only one thread, thread
storage duration is equivalent to static storage duration.

The ABI is out of the scope of the standard, so that I don't see any issue
here. The conformance to the existing ABI is something above the standard.
