My overall goal is to implement native TLS on OS X in DMD. For this particular
question I was trying to figure out how to get DMD to generate same assembly as
the corresponding D code, when a TLS variable is accessed, using the el_*
functions.
auto foo = *bar.thunk(&bar);

It looks like the lowering for a TLS variable access to a call to
___tls_get_addr occurs in el_picvar for OS X.

You make it sound so easy :). I guess my main problem is that I’m reading the
assembly that Clang outputs then I have no idea how to get DMD to generate the
same assembly.
Anyway, I think I managed to figure it out, this seems to work [1]. I basically
traced all the el_* functions to see which were called and with what arguments
when I compiled D code looking something like "auto foo = *bar.thunk(&bar);”.
