I'd thought that dynamic initialization of TLS variables was supposed to
need ELF gABI, C++ ABI, binutils and glibc support as per Jakub's comment
in bug 27557 - have you found a way to avoid needing those, or are you
actually discussing something else?
Handling it via init-on-first-use avoids the need for ELF and binutils
support. The interface needs to be specified in the C++ ABI, and I we
want glibc support for strict correctness (as with __cxa_atexit), but
the functionality can be implemented without it.
