I think more information is probably needed. I don't see how they can
conclude from use of thread_local that it's a musl bug. While baseline
thread local storage support is provided by musl, the C++ specific
part (non-POD data in TLS) is provided entirely by GCC building on top
of what libc provides. It might be that their code is doing something
that doesn't work with GCC's (low quality) non-POD TLS support. glibc
provides more of the C++ TLS support on the libc side, and in the long
term I want musl to do similarly, but due to major design flaws in the
C++ TLS ABI GCC uses, it's impossible to achieve full
safety/robustness without extremely large memory waste. So we've been
holding off a bit hoping to come up with a fix for the ABI.
Can you provide a little bit more info about how you're using musl?
Cross compiler? musl-based distro?
