Fyi, the --without-nptl switch worked fine. I also tried by adding nptl
support to my glibc build (USE=-nptl) and was able to compile mono
configured --with-nptl. 

I have attached a simple test library using __thread to bugzilla:

and shown the error I get when not TLS support is available.

Thanks for the help.
