it is guaranteed broken on all those targets if the exe has
local exec TLS access. (initial exec TLS is broken too but
you may get lucky with that)

i think you can get into trouble with interposition, copy
relocs or canonical plts too.

but even if everything happens to work, it is just bad
design: it relies on implementation internals instead of
documented interfaces.
