1 we're going to have to cut off support for i386 targets starting with
2 glibc-2.6 ... the upstream plans are to require TLS and i386 does not have
3 the atomic instructions required to support it
4
5 some other implications ... the glibc-compat20 people will also be stuck with
6 glibc-2.5 (as that implies no TLS support in linuxthreads)
