Code snippet exhibiting the issue.

Hello,

I've been experiencing this bug for some time with various gdb versions up to
7.6.1 (included): When single-stepping a function accessing a TLS variable in a
PIC binary, the traced process gets a SIGSEGV.

I could reproduce this using a small code snippet, as attached.

Sample session below:

$ gcc -pthread -fPIC -g gdb-tls.c -o gdb-tls -lpthread
$ gdb ./gdb-tls

(gdb) br foo

(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/./gdb-tls 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Breakpoint 1, foo () at gdb-tls.c:18
18              global_tls++;
(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
foo () at gdb-tls.c:18
18              global_tls++;
(gdb)

Running this without gdb, or without breakpoints works fine.
Compiling without -fPIC fixes the issue, as well as with clang instead of gcc.
