No, it needs a relocation entry of type R_386_TLS_LE (for the object file) or 
R_386_TLS_TPOFF (for a shared object).  Of course, before, the variable access 
has to be constructed to use %gs relative addresses.  So the code generation 
path would have to be changed for that as well.

And I guess idealy the internal linker would need to deal with this as well.
