Such a deriding tone is completely uncalled for (and moreover you yourself are 
constantly asking very basic questions about "make" and debugging the compiler 
on this same list, which makes it doubly inappropriate to start publicly 
chastising other people simply because they're not familiar with one term you 
used).

This thread has also strayed way off topic with lots of back and forth emails 
about details of the x86 instruction set. In the end, a summary about how 
everything applies to a realistic threadvar implementation for FPC could be 
useful (but keep in mind that the only reason that intialising/finalising 
threads not started via the FPC rtl now works under Unix is exactly because 
every threadvar access requires a call into a helper routine).

However, most of what's currently under discussion has been said several times 
already in multiple ways and what's left seems to be mostly miscommunications 
and clarifications.

This thread is now moderated on this list.
