This looks ok in principle, but I have a couple of questions.

In the aarch64 version we test the got_type after merging TLS methods
but in the arm version we test before. Is there a reason for that? Can
it make any difference? We should probably be consistent in any case.

Is it possible to write a test for this?

Thanks,
