Follow-up Comment #4, bug #34832 (project make): Because at the time that code was writtten, a __declspec(thread) equivalent wasn't available for gcc: that's the original author's skills in making a useful comment you are seeing. TLS is obviously necessary for that static array to make multiple threads not try to access the same thing concurrently.
