There is SPEC OMP,

Now, I wonder on which OS and why does config/tls.m4 CHECK_GCC_TLS
actually fail?  Can you figure that out?

If we get rid of HAVE_TLS code altogether, we might lose support of
some very old OSes, e.g. some Linux distros with a recent gcc and binutils
(so that emutls isn't used), but very old glibc (that doesn't support
TLS or supports it incorrectly, think of pre-2002 glibc).  So, if we get
rid of !HAVE_TLS code in libgomp, it would be nice if config/tls.m4 detected
it properly and we'd just fail at configure time.
And if we don't, just make sure that on Android, Darwin and/or M$Win (or
whatever other OS you had in mind which does support pthreads, but doesn't
support native TLS) find out why HAVE_AS_TLS is not defined (guess
config.log should explain that).
