 Wrt. renaming libmono - to libmono-module: if that works for you, I'm
 fine with it [ any solution is good I guess ;-]. OTOH - surely having
 a statically linked version to 'mono' will make 'mono' even smaller,
 more efficent & faster to start.

+The 'initial-exec' TLS model for a shared library is clearly wrong,
+both according to the docs, and according to experience.
+
+Disabling the VAR_OFFSET stuff in the PIC case slows down the shared
+library case a bit, but its not very tragic, also, it can be enabled
+again if somebody figures out why the original one does not work.
+(Probably because it cannot be made to work, i.e. it is not possible to
+determine the TLS offset used by a TLS variable in a shared library
+during compile time). What would be useful is some kind of libc call,
+which given the reference to a TLS reference, would return the TLS offset.
+
+Anyway, I will check in this change.
