 After this has been done, probably the whole `__libc_tsd_*` stuff can be
 dropped altogether, and `__thread` directly be used in glibc.

+    <tschwinge> r5219: Update libpthread patch to replace threadvar with tls
+      for pthread_self
+    <tschwinge> r5224: revert r5219 too, it's not ready either
+    <youpi> as the changelog says, the __thread revertal is because it posed
+      problems
+    <youpi> and I just didn't have any time to check them while the freeze was
+      so close
+    <tschwinge> OK.  What kind of problems?  Should it be reverted upstream,
+      too?
+    <youpi> I don't remember exactly
+    <youpi> it should just be fixed
+    <youpi> we can revert it upstream, but it'd be good that we manage to
+      progress, at some point...
+    <tschwinge> Of course -- however as long as we don't know what kind of
+      problem, it is a bit difficult.  ;-)
+    <youpi> since I didn't left a note, it was most probably a mere glibc run,
+      or boot with the patched libpthread
+    <youpi> *testsuite run
+    <tschwinge> OK.
+    <tschwinge> The libpthread testsuite doesn't show any issues with that
+      patch applied, though.  But I didn'T test anything else.
+    <tschwinge> youpi: Also, you have probably seen my glibc __thread errno
+      email -- rmcgrath wanted to find some time this week to comment/help, and
+      I take it you don't have any immediate comments to that issue?
+    <youpi> I saw the mails, but didn't investigate at all
