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.
How can a C compiler be more efficient, if the threadvar concept does not
exist in C ? On posix platforms, you must use a series of thread calls to
get to your 'thread-local' variable. When accessing a thread variable,
FPC uses the same series of calls as one would in C using pthreads.
