As I understand it, if you compile with -fpic, you shouldn't see any static TLS. The compiler should only use the Local Exec model for static/hidden variables in non-PIC compiles. > Note that the variable __gcov_indirect_call_counters_ltopriv was added to > work around > https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14342 > that seems to be fixed.

I think it was fixed with this patch: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-06/msg00139.html I guess I should close that bug. -cary
