Same for the LDC side of things, by the way.

While we are at it: Did you have a look at how to support TLS 
with Bionic yet? A while back, I had a hard time trying to find 
any material on the issue yet, but from what I read, it didn't 
seem to be supported back then. I guess GDC could get away using 
GCC's emutls, though (apart from the problems this poses for the 
GC).
