    MinGW: Reject dll{im,ex}port attribute on TLS variables
    
    The same error is given by Clang/LLVM.
    
    gcc/
            PR target/80881
            * attribs.cc (handle_dll_attribute): If TARGET_WIN32_TLS is 1,
            issue an error if either attribute is set on a TLS variable.
    
    gcc/testsuite/
            * c-c++-common/tls-attr-dll.c: New test.
