libkse in current shape is unable to support GNU TLS model, which is
what our system GCC is configured to use by default. While I can
certainly switch it to less optimal in some cases model defined by
Sun, I think maintaining binary compat in TLS are is an important
feature given the fact that precompiled linux-only object files are
getting more and more popular. Being binary compatible will give is at
least a change to link Linux object file into native FreeBSD binary.
