TLS on ARM and MIPS

I've been working on integrating jemalloc back into FreeBSD's libc, and ran into the lack of TLS on ARM and MIPS. Is this something that's likely to be addressed soon? If not, I'm going to have to modify libthr to deal with TSD bootstrapping issues -- FreeBSD's pthreads implementation *loves* to call malloc. =(
While I'm asking about TLS, it's worth asking whether any of the other platforms still lack TLS support for non-PIC binaries. If so, that will force the TSD issue anyway.
Thanks,
Jason
