Yeah.  Looks like gcc (4.5) isn't generating a correct .drective if
there are both thread local data and exported functions in the same
module.  If I take the __thread off, it exports both.  If I get rid of
the function definition it exports i properly.

__thread __declspec(dllexport) int i;
__declspec(dllexport) int function() { return 42; }

generates:

        .file   "foo.c"
.globl __emutls_v.i
        .data
        .align 32
__emutls_v.i:
        .quad   4
        .quad   4
        .quad   0
        .quad   0
        .text
.globl function
        .def    function;       .scl    2;      .type   32;     .endef
function:
        pushq   %rbp
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
        movl    $42, %eax
        leave
        ret
        .section .drectve
        .ascii " -export:function"
