    There is some sort of init function in libc which... see
    /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/tls.c, _init_tls(), which appears to run
    before anything else, at least for static builds.  I don't like
    the idea of not supporting the possibility that an initial TLS might
    already be set-up before the RTLD runs, so I went for a generic
    solution.

    An even larger issue is the fact that we seem to repeat the TLS and
    dynamic segment management code something like three times between
    libc and rtld.  I'd prefer that code to exist just once, though I
    don't see an easy way to do it in just one place at the moment.
