I have fixed every single PIC implementation compiler problem that has been 
brought to my attention. If there are others, I am not aware of them. Please let 
me know the bugzilla issue numbers for any I have missed.

DMD implements its own TLS on OS X because the OS X C compiler says "not 
implemented" when you try to create TLS variables. I had no other option.

The OS X TLS implementation is all done in druntime.

Nevertheless, this does not impact Linux nor FreeBSD.
