My guess would be that your system doesn't have __tls_get_addr, which is unique in that it is provided by the runtime linker from glibc. You may want to try out my Android patch for dmd, which doesn't use native TLS and doesn't rely on that function either:

You'll want to get rid of that last change to mars.c, substitute rt/sections_android.d for rt/sections_linux.d in druntime (don't forget to change the "version (Android):" inside that file to "version (linux):" also), and make sure you're using the default ld.bfd linker and not the gold linker. That might work for you.

I am experiencing a similar problem trying to build a static executable, exactly as described in https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12268 . I don't know if the root cause is a gcc issue or a phobos issue.

Probably neither, probably a druntime issue, specifically the rt.sections_linux module's use of the __tls_get_addr function, which is called from the dynamic linker at runtime.
