This is not good. The user should get what he asks for. In esp. since
last time I checked configure determines it frequently wrong.

Undoubtedly you are correct. My main concern was to fix the regression in the least invasive manner possible while still being able to fully test the patch.

I have no system that supports TLS where configure guesses incorrectly about assembler TLS support. If you have such a system and would like to write and test a patch to support --enable-tls, that would be great.

In the mean time I would like to see if my patch can be committed to 4.1 as is, because it fixes a real regression that I think effects quite a few mipsel-linux systems.
