// As CloudABI only supports static linkage, there is no need
// for dynamic TLS. The C library therefore does not provide
// __tls_get_addr(), which is normally used to perform dynamic
// TLS lookups by programs that make use of dlopen(). Only the
// "local-exec" and "initial-exec" TLS models can be used.
//
// "local-exec" is more efficient than "initial-exec", as the
// latter has one more level of indirection: it accesses the GOT
// (Global Offset Table) to obtain the effective address of a
// thread-local variable. Using a GOT is useful only when doing
// dynamic linking.
