> This size value actually comes from the ELF TLS image description. In ELF64 it is a 64-bit value, and in ELF32 it is a 32-bit value. So, capturing it as a `uintptr_t` value will capture it without any potential mix ups.
In the implementation below, all the size computations were done with `size_t`, and then get converted to `uintptr_t` of TLSDescriptor.  Shall we add a static assertion to make sure that it won't silently overflow, i.e. `sizeof(size_t) <= sizeof(uintptr_t)`? At least they are the same for most of our platforms of interest anyway.
