We've been talking about two completely separate issues:
- Fast thread-local storage for libGL and GL drivers.
- PIC for libGL and GL drivers.
The only "changes" being talked about relate to the first of these
issues, and have nothing to do with whether libGL is a true shared
library or not.
I'm interested to know if using __thread forces the use of -fPIC,
because my first reading of Ulrich's document seemed to suggest this was
the case. You say it's irrelevant, but I'd still like to know. If I am
incorrect, then I have obviously misundersood some aspects of Ulrich's
document and would like some clarification.
