It's a gcc builtin function, not something implemented in an external library. Therefore, there is no linker option that can fix this.
Also, as far as I can see from gcc's documentation, __builtin_thread_pointer() is only supported for the RISCV and SH architectures. Then again, gcc's implementation seems to hinge this on whether the platform supports TLS or not. In any case, it is probably better to not use this function if your gcc does not support it. -Dimitry > On 11 Feb 2025, at 20:26, Ken Brown via Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com> wrote: > > Does Cygwin support __builtin_thread_pointer?
