GNU lightning is known (and so is TinyCC) to emit slow machine code,
but is able to emit that code very quickly.

So I would simply hand-code in C the few functions retrieving and
updating these thread local data and call these functions as you would
call any (external) function in GNU lightning.

Perhaps there is another way, but I don't know it. Unless that other
way is documented & stable, I won't consider using it.
