[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1.0] configure: tighten pie toolchain support test for tls variables

[Avi Kivity]

Some toolchains don't support pie properly when tls variables are
in use.  Disallow pie when such toolchains are detected.

v3: only check __thread on Linux, where we require it, and where the
    toolchain fails

v2: give tls_var a type; avoids invisible warning
