I wondered earlier why you weren't just using Walter's packed TLS 
approach and now I see why, ldc doesn't use it.  Looks like Apple 
hasn't ported the TLV functions which ldc uses to iOS yet either, 
so you're out of luck there too.  I guess you'll have to port 
Walter's approach to ldc to get TLS working on iOS:

Either that or get llvm to emit the right pthread calls, like I 
mentioned earlier.
