So you're saying this issue has already been fixed:

I'm trying to. I've started to read about TLS to try to fix that on Mac 
OS X for dynamic libraries.

Yeah, I know that. I've already implemented dynamic libraries for D1 
with Tango on Mac OS X. Trying to do the same thing now for D2. It's 
just a bit problematic if the compiler doesn't generate the correct 
code. Note that it's been a while since I tried to implement dynamic 
libraries on Linux so I don't know if the above mentioned issue is fixed 
or not, it's still open though.
