Of course this is why I started the thread. The C compilers seem to work
more efficient on that behalf and thus it might be viable to improve
FPC. To do that the details of how segment registers are used with the
X86/32 architecture in Linux and Windows needs to be thoroughly
understood. (In fact I still don't know how the compiler should
construct a pointer to a threadvar in Linux).
