trying to understand why i don't have "__thread" support

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday at mindspring dot com>]

  using my mini script to build an NPTL-based toolchain and the glibc
configure step fails with:

Configuring, building and installing glibc.      <-- i print that line
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... sh3eb-unknown-linux-gnu
running configure fragment for add-on nptl
...
checking for __thread... no         <-- i'm sure that's not good
...
running configure fragment for sysdeps/sh/elf
checking for SH TLS support... yes
running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux
running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/pthread
configure: error: compiler support for __thread is required
make: *** No rule to make target `lib'.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install-lib-all'.  Stop.


  ok, so what is this a symptom of?  that i failed to configure thread
support into the bootstrap gcc?

  i'm about to dig into this but if someone knows offhand what the
above represents, i'd love to hear it.  have i forgotten a bootstrap
gcc configure or build option?
