thread local storage

[Paul Hewlett <paulh at issi dot co dot za>]

Dear All

    I am experimenting with tls by declaring some variables with the
    keyword __thread i.e.

           __thread int i;

    The code compiles but when linking I get an unresolved symbol
  
            __tls_get_addr

    I have read the tls.pdf paper at redhat and searched the web. I gather
    that the linker must produce this symbol but obviously does not.

    I am using SuSE 8.2 professional - gcc 3.3 20030226 - ld 2.13.90.0.18 
20030121
     
    I am not subscribed so please reply to address below. 

    Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Paul
