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.
