S_SET_THREAD_LOCAL sets BSF_THREAD_LOCAL, which called by the backend.

How can the backend itself detect whether a symbolS is a TLS symbol ?

I thought about using S_GET_SEGMENT() in a comparison, but there is no
variable similar to text_section, data_section or bss_section to
compare against.
Any idea ?

Only the backend has the information if a symbol is TLS.
