My only question about this patch is why the symbol's section has a
non-zero section offset. Is that the reason why?
Maybe it would make sense to make a SEC_THREAD_LOCAL section always have
a zero offset. Then touching all the users wouldn't be necessary.
On the third hand it seems strange to even try to get the "address" of a
TLS symbol in this way.
