The point is that you anyway can't force the assembler to everything, like use a 32-bit displacement when an 8-bit one (or even none) suffices. If that's already impossible, then adding this additional thing is no issue at all in my opinion. Jan

Please check out

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tls.pdf

elf_i386_relocate_section and elf64_x86_64_relocate_section to make
sure that TLS optimization, which depends on the exact length of
the instruction, won't get affected. 

I still prefer to fix compiler instead of assembler.
