Definitely :D

Thanks!

Ok, good :)

I don't remember the details, but most probably that's because there is
more to TLS than the mere early TLS. The gcc accesses are constants from
gs/fs so early TLS is enough. But e.g. _hurd_critical_section_lock would
try to access the sigstate, which will be in the eventual tcbhead, and
not in the early tcbhead.

We can probably do that, yes.
