I was wondering about this already. It seems weird if the CFI stuff
doesn't allow for a situation like that.

Cool. Really. But, shouldn't that go to the gdb-patches mailing list?

It happens too often to be ignored. Wouldn't it make sense to add
a cygwin_internal call to return tls offsets or addresses, the later
if the argument is a pointer to the stack or cygtls area?
