That is no problem. The trouble starts because the TLS section is 
allocated for every thread (at least if the thread touches a 
variable in this section). I need to find the start of the 
section at runtime for a thread. The module id helps her because 
__tls_get_addr() can then be used.

That's a nice summary of the Drepper paper only for Solaris. 
Unfortunately all the OS stuff is missing.
