The remaining piece is to insert the correct function call to 
___tls_get_addr when TLS variables are accessed, ie the 
equivalent to this patch for dmd's backend needs to be created 
for llvm:

I've been putting off looking into llvm's internals enough to 
write that for a while now.  If you or anybody else knows llvm
