I have posted:
TLS variables access for -static -lpthread executables
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2014-03/msg00024.html
and the GDB patch below has been confirmed as OK for current glibcs.
Further work should be done for newer glibcs:
Improve TLS variables glibc compatibility
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16954
Still the patch below implements the feature in a fully functional way backward
compatible with current glibcs, it depends on the following glibc source line:
csu/libc-tls.c
main_map->l_tls_modid = 1;

This patch constifies the target_ops method to_detach.
This is a small cleanup, but also, I think, a bug-prevention fix,
since gdb already acts as if the "args" argument here was const.
In particular, top.c:quit_force calls kill_or_detach via
iterate_over_inferiors. kill_or_detach calls target_detach, passing
the same argument each time. So, if one of these methods was not
const-correct, then kill_or_detach would change its behavior in a
strange way.
I could not build every target I modified in this patch. I've
inspected them all by hand, though. Many targets do not use the
"args" parameter; a couple pass it to atoi; and a few pass it on to
the to_detach method of the target beneath. The only code that
required a real change was in linux-nat.c, and that only needed the
introduction of a temporary variable for const-correctness.

Right now, "help target" will include this line:
target multi-thread -- Threads and pthreads support
However, it doesn't make sense to invoke "target multi-thread".
This patch fixes the problem by not registering the multi-thread
target. add_target does some needed initialization of the target_ops,
so I broke this out into a new function.
It isn't clear to me whether this patch requires a test case or not.
I'm not sure whether there are other unregistered targets; but if
there are, it seems unlikely that we test for their absence from the
help.
