cannot allocate memory in static TLS block

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

compiling the appended test case on i686, gives me the following
error messages in some configurations:

# ./dlopen-tls 
dlopen() failed: './tls.so: cannot allocate memory in static TLS block'

It does not work with glibc compiled for i686 with TLS and
without NPTL (the fallback, if somebody uses an older kernel or
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1).

Is this a binutils/gcc problem or a bug in glibc? It seems to work
on other architectures with the same tool chain (gcc 3.3.1, 
binutils-2.14.90.0.5).

 Thanks,
  Thorsten
