Eric,
   I doubt that would work as I can reproduce the problem with llvm.org's clang 2.9 release using Xcode 4.1.1's
cctools. I suspect we will shortly have a load of additional examples for you as fink 10.7 builds with the Xcode's
clang. Once Xcode 4.2 is released, every fink package which supports TLS will suddenly start to use it new builds.
                 Jack
ps Is there a clang flag to disable the TLS support (short of resorting to -mmacosx-version-min=10.6)?
