  And again last time I checked it was still a mingw 3.x in debian, now
that it's 4.2.1 it seems to support __thread (but not
__declspec(thread)) and their changelog seems to confirm that fact [0].

  So the question holds again, do we require pthread-using targets to
support TLS ? It feels sane and right to me, but =E2=80=A6
