(Such a linker requirement could be enforced by requiring that the linker recognizes a command option specific to GLIBC_ABI_GNU2_TLS, and that current linkers treat as an error.) Would such an unconditional requirement be acceptable to GCC 16? I don't think so. So we'd still have to design a configure option for it. And that requires further compiler changes. It's also not entirely clear how this would interact with -fuse-ld. I just don't think option (b) is trivial from a compiler perspective. Thanks, Florian
