Yes, you are right. Solely for i686, external symbols have to be prefixed by an
underscore.

Correct, because the Cygwin CRT doesn't have a TLS directory. You can use
`objdump -h` to print PE headers of a Cygwin executable, and there is no `.tls`
section.

An application may provide its own TLS directory, but it's not default.
