I don't think LTO is quite the same, because it is not as "ready"
as this emultls stuff. But other projects (vectorizer, new VN,
df branch, libgcc-math, etc...) are basically ready, and they're
being held up because merges like this _will_ delay releases and
cause/expose new/more bugs. IMHO this should not have been put
in the trunk regardless of how useful it may be for platforms
without TLS.
But ultimately, it's up to Mark of course...
