[Mono-devel-list] tls_model ("local-exec")

[Ben Maurer]

Hello,

To make the MONO_NPTL env variable do anything on my computer, I had to
apply the following patch:

Index: mini-x86.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvs/public/mono/mono/mini/mini-x86.c,v
retrieving revision 1.98

It seems taht __thread is using some other storage model by default on
my box. I am running rh9. Should this patch be applied, or is something
else going on?
