What do you mean by "local variables" ? Do you mean variables allocate
inside each functions, on the stack ? Or global variables, but specific
to each thread (TLS) ?

For more information about TLS, you can read Ulrich Drepper's paper on
that subject: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/tls.pdf

Sincerly,
