The private APIs being called by osx_tls.c like
dyld_enumerate_tlv_storage() are overriden for iOS by using [1].  I can
change all dyld prefixes in theadLocalVariable.c to something else and
remove all code not needed.  That would leave a call to private API
dyld_register_image_state_change_handler() in threadLocalVariables.c,
but it looks to me like it could be rewritten to use
_dyld_register_func_for_add_image().  Tried it and seems to work.
