[OpenWrt-Devel] Alsa-lib (libasound) segfaults on TLS variable (musl on mips)

[Ted Hess]

I believe this to be an independent problem from the pthread_detach() 
discussion: "musl breaks python". I’m re-posting this to openwrt-devel to get 
more devos aware of the issue. Note that I am using the latest musl/gcc patches 
as of today (23-Jun).

FWIW -- Here's what I know...
To easily reproduce:

    Build alsa-lib & alsa-utils
    Execute: 'aplay -L'        (fails - see below)

--------------------------------------------------------------
Segfault in 'snd_lib_error_set_local' (error.c) referencing
static __thread snd_local_error_handler_t local_error;

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

------------------------------------------------------------

Fails on ar71xx and ramips. Works OK on armeb (NSLU2)
Removing __thread qualifier, rebuild, works OK.
